Chemical Biology: Bridging Chemistry and Biology
Author(s): Leah Volker*
Chemical biology is a dynamic interdisciplinary field that amalgamates principles of chemistry and biology to elucidate and manipulate biological
systems at the molecular level. It stands at the intersection of these two disciplines, utilizing chemical tools and techniques to investigate complex
biological phenomena. By leveraging the precision and versatility of chemical synthesis, chemical biologists unravel the intricacies of biological
processes and develop innovative strategies for disease diagnosis, drug discovery and therapeutic interventions. At its core, chemical biology
seeks to decipher the chemical language of biological systems. Central to this endeavor is the synthesis and design of chemical probes, small
molecules and biomolecular agents that interact selectively with specific biological targets. These tools serve as molecular probes to interrogate
