Chemistry is the field of science focuses on the study of matter. Matter makes up everything around us including your phone, fireworks, your favorite food, the air you breath, and of course you! In Medical Chemistry, students will apply chemistry and biotechnology concepts to address issues related to essential human needs. We will learn how determine the correct dosage for patients and create an IV solution as we explore health issues in chemistry. We will study sports medicine through studying gas laws to determine how to maximize the human body for different sports. We will also look at environmental pollutants and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and how they affect our environment and bodies.

“The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.”
