Astrochemistry is the study of molecules in space, how they form, where they form, and what role they play in shaping the formation and evolution of astrophysical systems, particularly in star and planet formation. The chemical interactions between atoms, ions, and molecules in both the gas and solid phase span from the coldest, darkest regions of space, known as the interstellar medium, right to the surface of planets, where such processes may be key in astrobiology ?

Research in medicinal chemistry and diagnostics is focused on two main areas, bio-medicinal chemistry and analytical science applied to diagnostics. Bio-medicinal research is largely, though not exclusively, directed toward various aspects of cancer, including development of molecules for cell recognition, modification of nucleic acid bases, imaging and targeting of cancer cells (e.g. photodynamic therapy), and small molecule therapeutics.

This postgraduate degree course enables you to study aspects of medicinal chemistry that explore the links between disease, mechanisms of action and the development of safe, effective commercial drugs. You have the opportunity to pursue these topics across a number of different disease therapies using the innovative teaching methods pioneered by The Open University, while developing a wide range of skills associated with masters-level study.

Research in the Department of Chemistry is focused on two main areas, biomedicinal chemistry and analytical science, with an additional area of materials chemistry. Biomedicinal research (Yao, Missailidis, Bruce, Trigiante) forms part of the research effort of the inter-faculty Biomedical Research Network, and is largely, though not exclusively, directed toward various aspects of cancer, including development of molecules for cell recognition, modification of nucleic acid bases, imaging and targeting of cancer cells, and small molecule therapeutics.

The goals of the Planetary and Space Sciences Research Institute's postgraduate cosmochemistry programme are to undertake research projects that further our understanding of the origin of the Solar System through laboratory studies of extraterrestrial materials: meteorites, lunar samples, cosmic dust and samples returned by spacecraft. We study the processes by which planets and small bodies evolved to their present state; obtain information about the origin and formation of the Solar System and the time scales involved; and determine the past activity of the Sun.
