Chemistry

The discipline of chemistry at Donghua University has always been an important supporting fundamental discipline since 1951, when the University was founded. Since the year of 2010, the chemistry discipline at Donghua University has repeatedly been listed as the top 1% chemistry programs worldwide based on Thomson Reuters’ Essential Science Indicators (ESI). Chemistry aims at training professionals for the chemical, textile, materials and related industries with solid fundamental knowledge in chemistry and, at the same time, with practical skills in solving actual problems. The development of professional skills and attainment has been incorporated into our curriculum.

Chemical Engineering and Technology

The Chemical Engineering and Technology Program at Donghua University was established in 1978. It is a first-level discipline which concentrates on practical research including Applied Chemistry, Chemical Process and Materials Chemical Engineering. It has bred a number of research fields with influential industry in functional materials, nanotechnology, electronic chemicals, biotechnology and others. The research fields of this program involve the synthesis of fine chemicals, research of green and clean synthetic processes of organic compounds, exploitation of textile materials chemical engineering process, and conductive polymer materials.

Biochemical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering (BME) discipline at Donghua University was established in 2007, and awarded key development discipline of Donghua University in 2013. Thanks to the continued effort to ensure rapid development over the years, BME obtained national-level master degree authorization in 2011. Presently, BME faculty consists of 36 full-time teaching and research staffs (including 15 professors and 16 associate professors). All the faculty members have doctorate degrees, 32 members have more than one year of overseas study experience, 16 members were selected for various national and Shanghai talent programs. BME has formed its own characteristics in four research areas, including biomaterials, tissue engineering, nanomedicine, and clinical molecular diagnosis. According to the 2019 Shanghai Ranking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects, the biomedical engineering discipline at Donghua University ranks 51-75 in the world.
