We are where imagination and action collide.

The University of Manitoba is western Canada’s first university. The University of Manitoba campuses are located on the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Ininewuk, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate and Denesuline, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. In addition to two main campuses – Fort Garry and Bannatyne – UM has multiple satellite sites throughout the province and research settings around the world. The University features new, modern facilities complemented by historic buildings that have defined the campus for more than a century.

The Department of Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry at the University of Manitoba is the largest in the province of Manitoba and the only department with a doctoral program of graduate study. The undergraduate program, which is accredited by the Canadian Society for Chemistry, offers majors and honours degrees as well as a co-op option. The research programs available in the Department of Chemistry range from theoretical chemistry on the fundamental nature of how molecules undergo chemical reactions, to the synthesis, design and characterization of new materials with unique properties and applications, and encompass the synthesis, isolation and characterization of novel new biologically active organic molecules.

For over 50 years, the Department of Chemistry has also shared responsibility with the Department of Microbiology to deliver the UM undergraduate program in Biochemistry. The Biochemistry program adds a unique breadth to the educational offerings of the department and is supported by two Tier 1 CRC Chairs in biochemistry. These research programs encompass studies on the structure and function of large protein complexes, interaction and regulation of critical biomolecules such as enzymes and RNA, and advances in chemical biology that can generate novel functional proteins. Together, these chemistry and biochemistry programs create a vibrant and diverse environment for research and education. The department is supported by 20 full-time tenured/tenure-track faculty members, 8 instructors, and 15 support staff.
