Episode description
In the past 100 years, our understanding of the molecular world has grown immeasurably. So much so that we can synthesize essentially any compound we desire. We take advantage of this fact to synthesize drugs for the treatment of various diseases. How does this work? How do we know what molecule to make? What do these do in the body? How exactly do we make them, especially on an industrial scale? Let's chat with chemist turned businesswoman Carolina Amador about this whole show!
