Organic and inorganic chemistry

Organic chemistry is the study of the properties, reactions, structure, and finally the production of compounds containing carbon. It involves the synthesis of organic molecules and the study of their reaction pathways, interactions, and applications.

Medicinal and clinical chemistry

Medicinal chemistry focuses on the molecular perspective of drug action, deals with drug development and the synthesis of biologically active molecules. Clinical science, also called chemical pathology, biochemistry, or medical organic chemistry, which usually focuses on the study of organic liquids for indicative and remedial purposes.

Food chemistry and agricultural chemistry

Food chemistry plays an important role in ensuring that food processed for consumption is safe and of high quality. It involves the analysis of chemical components from proteins to carbohydrates and beyond. Agricultural chemistry deals with compounds such as organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry. It is an integral part of agriculture from the molecular level to the organ level.

Environmental chemistry

Environmental chemistry studies the effects of pollutants on the environment, pollution reduction, and environmental management. The focus is on the biological effects of chemicals, soils and associated residues, prediction of properties and effects of compounds, chemical risks and regulatory issues, water quality, wastewater treatment and reuse, and drinking water.

Green chemistry and renewable resources

Green chemistry mainly focuses on the development of products that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances and is a branch of chemistry and chemical engineering. It is applied throughout the entire life cycle of a chemical product, including its development, production, use, and final disposal.

Polymer chemistry

Polymer chemistry studies the chemical synthesis, structure, chemical and physical properties of polymers and macromolecules. The principles and methods used in polymer chemistry are also applied in a wide range of other sub-disciplines of chemistry, such as organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and physical chemistry.

Materials chemistry

Materials chemistry involves the use of chemistry to design and synthesize materials with interesting or potentially useful physical characteristics, such as magnetic, optical, structural, or catalytic properties.

Analytical and surface chemistry

Analytical chemistry focuses on quality assurance of electrochemical methods, qualitative analysis, nature determination, quantitative analysis, gravimetric methods, analytical data evaluation, spectroscopic methods, and standardization of analytical methods.

Biochemistry

Biochemistry or biological chemistry is the study of chemical processes occurring in and related to living organisms. As a subdiscipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry can be divided into three areas: structural biology, enzymology, and metabolism.
