Teaching
At MolBioMed, teaching is an essential part of our work. Group members teach physical chemistry at the UAB Faculty of Science and School of Engineering, from quantum chemistry and thermodynamics to biomolecular simulation. Many of these subjects are the very tools we use every day in our research, and bringing them into the classroom lets us teach them as they are really used and spark vocations: many of the students who have done their bachelor’s or master’s thesis or PhD with us first met us in class.
