Chemistry in Medicine

Lifesaving Reactions

Chemistry is at the heart of medicine. Chemical principles help develop drugs, understand how the body works, and diagnose diseases.

  • Drug Design: Chemists design molecules that interact specifically with biological targets.
  • Diagnostics: Blood tests rely on chemical reactions to detect diseases.
  • Imaging: The contrast in MRI scans depends on the chemistry of atoms in tissues.

Impact on Society

Advances in chemistry save lives, from vaccines to cancer treatments, making the world healthier for everyone.

Examples

  • Insulin, a protein hormone, is synthesized using chemical techniques to treat diabetes.

  • Antibiotics disrupt bacterial cell chemistry, stopping infections.
