4.16 University of Helsinki, Chemistry and Biochemistry
Overview
The chemistry unit, which is part of the Division of Chemistry and Biochemistry,
belongs to the Department of Food and Environmental Sciences at the UH Faculty of
Agriculture and Forestry. The current Department was formed after a merger of the
Department of Applied Chemistry and Microbiology and the Department of Food
Technology. The unit is responsible for teaching chemistry mainly to Bachelor’s
students in the Department and Faculty. This is a very special situation with respect
to teaching and PhD recruitment. The unit has one professor (moved from VTT to
UH in 2002), three lecturers, some three postdoctoral researchers and four PhD
students. The unit’s funding is approximately 50 per cent core funding and 50 per cent
external funding, a good proportion for the mainly basic research-oriented activity of
the unit. Additionally, the external funding has increased remarkably during the last
few years as a result of the merger.
