What are molecular sensors?
Molecular sensors are organic chemistry applied to biology and biotechnology. This interdisciplinary field comprises chemical biology, chemistry, imaging, and data analysis. Our playground is the lab bench and hood, and includes synthetic chemistry, compound characterization, biological imaging, and using chemical tools to solve biological problems.
For the fifth year in a row, the UO has conferred the most master’s degrees in physics in the country.
Thermo Fisher Scientific, a long-term partner of the Knight Campus Graduate Internship Program, has committed $20,000/year over the next 5 years to support Inclusion & Diversity scholarships.
