Department of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry

Established in 1921 by Nobel laureate Prof. Jaroslav Heyrovský, the Department of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry at Charles University's Faculty of Science has evolved into a hub for diverse research areas.

Currently, the department actively explores experimental and theoretical physical chemistry, chemical physics, biophysical chemistry, and macromolecular chemistry. Research groups focus on topics such as biophysical chemistry of protein complexes, electrophoresis and chromatography, heterogeneous catalysis and advanced materials, (nano)materials modeling, polymer synthesis and biomaterials, soft matter, soft matter theory, and porous polymers.

The department offers master's programs in Physical Chemistry, Macromolecular Chemistry, Biophysical Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, and Modeling of Chemical Properties of Nanostructures and Biomolecules, along with doctoral programs in related fields.
