Molecules to Medicine

How are modern medicines actually made? Step into Pacific's chemistry labs and discover how scientists turn molecular designs into potential new medicines. Working alongside faculty and graduate students, you'll explore how drugs interact with biological targets, use computer modeling to design promising molecules, and carry out chemical reactions to synthesize organic and inorganic drug candidates. Then, purify and analyze the compounds you've created using advanced laboratory instruments. From molecular design to hands-on synthesis, experience firsthand how chemists help create the medicines that transform modern healthcare!
