Click here to register for the 60th Anniversary Symposium The UCSC Chemistry and Biochemistry Department at UCSC was established 60 years ago (1965). In this time, we have graduated over 5,000 undergraduate, 500 graduate students and hosted 300 post-doctoral researchers and visiting scholars. To celebrate this milestone, we are excited to announce our 60th Anniversary […]
Discovery by UC Santa Cruz researchers could accelerate biofuel’s adoption
A UC Santa Cruz chemistry professor working to help produce better treatments for Alzheimer’s disease reflects on his journey, from the dark days that clouded his youth to a career defined by a passion for fundamental discovery
Original story from UCSC Magazine
UC Santa Cruz has secured funding to support 100 students in completing bachelor’s degrees in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) through the California Alliance for Minority Participation (CAMP)—a program that has helped more than 300 students from historically underrepresented backgrounds earn undergraduate STEM degrees from the university over the past two decades.

The SARS CoV 2 Macrodomain and how to inhibit it The nonstructural protein 3 (NSP3) macrodomain of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Mac1) removes adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ribosylation posttranslational modifications, playing a key role in the immune evasion capabilities of the virus responsible for the coronavirus pandemic. Starting from a collaborative X-ray-based fragment […]

Skin is the body’s largest organ. It is responsible for the transduction of a vast amount of information. This conformable, stretchable, self-healable and biodegradable material simultaneously collects signals from external stimuli that translate into information such as pressure, pain, and temperature. The development of electronic materials, inspired by the complexity of this organ is a […]
The first UC Chemistry Conference on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) will be hosted at UC Santa Cruz on April 15th, 2022. The goal of the conference is to share the challenges and solutions toward achieving DEI in our departments and to build community around our shared interests. This first conference will emphasize the […]
Bunnett Symposium 2023 This annual event was established in 2001 to honor and celebrate the late Prof. Joseph Bunnett’s seminal contributions: Prof. Bunnett was a pioneer in his sub-discipline of physical organic chemistry and a founding member of our department. The Bunnett Symposium has evolved into an opportunity to connect past and present friends of the Department for […]
