We are committed to the philosophy that students and faculty need access to the most current techniques and instruments, and we receive strong university and external funding to update equipment as the science evolves. From a state-of-the-art instrument shop to an internationally renowned crystallography lab, the IU Department of Chemistry provides an unparalleled support network for graduate research.

Beyond the department, Indiana University’s stellar information technology environment offers outstanding support. Recognized as one of the nation's most "unwired" college campus, Indiana University's technology environment provides nearly city-wide wireless access, state-of-the-art classrooms, outstanding technology labs, and research facilities which are available 24-hours.

Mechanical Instrument Services, Edward J. Bair
The mechanical instrument services are organized to encourage students to learn to think outside the box - beyond apparatus that is available to apparatus that is possible.

Electronic Instrument Services
The Electronic Instrument Services (EIS) designs, modifies, constructs, and repairs chemical and electronic instrumentation.

Research Systems Engineering Group (RSE)
State-of-the-art digital acquisitions and control systems.

Glass Shop
Both routine and unique glassware are fabricated in the Glass Shop, staffed by a professional glassblower.

Information Technology Group (ITG)
The Information Technology Group serves and assists the Chemistry faculty, staff, and students in their academic, administrative, and research based computing activities. The group is the primary contact for all information technology support within the Chemistry Department.

Duplicating Service
Provides copying services for exams, grant proposals, class notes, and department memoranda.

Facilities

Mass Spectrometry Laboratory
The Mass Spectrometry Laboratory includes four mass spectrometers.

Molecular Structure Center
The Molecular Structure Center (IUMSC) has an international reputation in small molecule crystallography and is used extensively by faculty and students in the department.

Molecular Visualization Facility
The department is well equipped for Molecular Visualization and Molecular Modeling, with over 40 Silicon Graphics and other UNIX workstations available.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility
The NMR facility has four Varian high-resolution NMR spectrometers equipped for a variety of solution-state experiments.

Chemistry Library
Housing more than 200 major chemistry journals, 15,000 books, and 2,500 reference titles, the Chemistry Library supports great research. In addition, the library subscribes to hundreds of electronic journals of interest to chemists.

Physical Biochemistry Instrumentation Facility
This facility facilitates and encourages research into the structures, stabilities, and interactions of biomolecules and provides a centralized resource for training and education in modern physical biochemistry.

Quantum Chemistry Program Exchange (QCPE)
QCPE serves as a worldwide gathering and dissemination center for computer programs relating to computational, as well as other areas of chemistry.

METACyt Biochemical Analysis Center
MBAC is to promote the uses of biomolecular structural analysis and bioanalytical measurements in wide-ranging life sciences research activities on the Bloomington campus and within the IU Medical School.

National Center for Glycomics and Glycoproteomics
Supported by NIH-National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), the National Center for Glycomics and Glycoproteomics is devoted to the development of new methodologies and instrumentation in glycomics, proteomics, and glycoproteomics.

Center for Cell and Virus Theory
The Center for Cell and Virus Theory is a research institute, the main objective of which is to develop mathematical and computational models of the physical and chemical processes underlying cell and virus behavior.

Gill Center
The Linda and Jack Gill Center for Biomolecular Science (GCBS) was established to advance the understanding of complex biological processes and to train next generation scientists in state-of-the-art biomolecular measurements, especially in the field of neuroscience.

Indiana Instrumentation Institute (III)
The Indiana Instrumentation Institute (III) was established to formalize and strengthen existing relationships between Purdue University and Indiana University, and state industry, in the area of scientific instrumentation.
