SÃO PAULO – INSTITUTE OF CHEMISTRY, UNIVERSITY OF SÃO PAULO
The Institute of Chemistry of the University of São Paulo is home to the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry with around 100 research laboratories. The Institute also hosts the Central Analítica (Analytical Center) which provides access to large multi-user instruments and services in a variety of analytical techniques.
The Institute of Chemistry offers 6 types of bachelor's degrees, as well as gradute (Master's and Doctorate) programs in Chemistry and Biochemistry.
The research areas of the Department of Biochemistry include Cell Signaling, Gene Expression, Molecular Microbiology, Structural Biology, Enzymology, Neuroscience, Biological Membranes, Bioinformatics, Genomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics. Diseases such as cancer, diabetes and obesity are among the subjects of study, in addition to diseases caused by tropical parasites and bacteria. The Institute is home to the Center for Redox Processes in Biomedicine (CEPID Redoxoma), a multidisciplinary network of researchers focused on investigating redox processes in biological systems. It also hosts the Support Center for Research in Computational and Genomic Biology (NUBIC).
The Institute welcomes visiting graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and researchers from countries around the world, creating a multinational and multicultural atmosphere in its corridors and laboratories, enriching its teaching and research activities.
