Medicinal chemist modulating biological processes

As we view the world we live in, we become inspired by the beanty, variety, complexity, and grandeur of the natural realm. Many disciplines obtain inspiration for their own worthy pursnits from that which exists in nature. As synthetic organic chemists, medicinal chemists, pharmacentical scientists, and natural product researchers, we are inspired by the molecnles fonnd in nature to synthesize what natnre synthesizes, to make variations of what we discover in natnre, and to look to nature for inspiration in new directions for our profession. What motivates ns is not only a desire to better understand biological processes and how molecnles interact and control these pathways, but we are looking for new ways to modulate biological responses in order to treat disease.
