Our Community

CCB's inclusive, supportive, and innovative community collaborates with a vast network of university- and hospital-based research and education programs. With the creative power of diverse perspectives, we can explore new chemical frontiers and build the next generation of innovative scientists and educators. We educate and train scientists at all career stages and across disciplines, including undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral scholars.

Our Mission & Values

Our mission is to make critical discoveries and advancements in both chemistry and chemical biology, in basic discovery and applied or clinical settings. We are committed to transforming research ranging from sustainable energy technologies to human disease, and to training the next generation to explore creative new frontiers through a vast range of disciplines.

We see scientific exploration as a service to humankind, and diversity of discipline, background, and perspective as essential to its success.

Collaboration

CCB is a starting point to launch innovation networks and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Our faculty collaborate across sectors with research institutions at Harvard and across the world, entrepreneurs, industry researchers, and discovery scientists in a wide range of settings, always with the goal of translating discoveries into solutions.
