Chemistry in Medicine

Healing with Chemistry

Chemistry plays a huge role in medicine, from developing new drugs to understanding how our bodies work.

  • Medications are designed based on how molecules interact with cells.
  • Chemical reactions break down food for energy inside our bodies.
  • Diagnostic tests, like blood glucose monitoring, rely on chemical principles.

Healthier Lives

Advances in chemistry lead to new treatments, vaccines, and medical technologies that save lives.

Examples

  • Antibiotics are chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria.

  • MRI scans use contrast agents—special chemicals—to help doctors see inside the body.
