Chemical Biology is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles of chemistry and biology to study living systems at a molecular level. It focuses on understanding the chemical processes and interactions that occur within cells, helping to reveal how biological molecules like proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids function. Researchers in chemical biology often use techniques from both chemistry and biology to develop new tools and methods for studying biological systems. This can include the design of small molecules that can influence biological pathways or the use of biochemical assays to explore the roles of specific genes and proteins in health and disease.
