Situated in the heart of Richmond, the capital of Virginia since 1779, Virginia Commonwealth University serves an integral role in the economic health of the city — educating the current and future workforce, reaching out to the community, advancing research and enhancing patient care. As the premier urban, public research university in Virginia, VCU’s mission is to advance knowledge and student success through its commitments to: an engaged, learner-centered environment that fosters inquiry, discovery and innovation in a global setting; research that expands the boundaries of new knowledge and creative expression and promotes translational applications to improve human health. The Department of Chemistry’s research laboratories provide space for more than 80 graduate students, postdoctoral research associates and faculty to conduct research in a safe and spacious environment. A range of modern instrumentation is available in several instrumentation facilities within the department and across the university.
