Department History:
The development of chemistry in the United States is tied closely to the development of chemistry at Columbia University. For more than a century, Columbia chemistry faculty have produced breakthroughs in research, trained many of the leading chemists in the country, and led the growth of chemistry as both an academic discipline and a profession.
Columbia has been home to many renowned chemists, among them Nobel Laureates Harold Urey, the discoverer of deuterium, and Edward Kimball, a pioneer in the study of cortical steroids. Louis Hammett, the father of physical organic chemistry, and Victor LaMer, the father of colloid chemistry, were longtime members of the department.
