From analgesics to chemotherapy, Pharmaceutical Chemistry has helped treat a wide range of diseases and pathogens over the years. My reasons for wanting to pursue a career in this field stem from my fascination with how medications work and recondition imbalances in the human body. How a tiny tablet, looking so small and insignificant, can sometimes achieve such improving results. However that simple tablet requires a significant amount of engineering to restore the body's natural rhythm. After reading the article "Inside the Mind of a Medicinal Chemist" I discovered how computers and algorithms are used to simplify the decision-making process behind prioritizing compounds, which in turn reduces the amount of time spent in the production of the product. It is fascinating to learn that it is not always possible to reach a consensus among medicinal chemists and this highlighted for me the scale of the opportunities available for research in this field. My love for chemistry fuels my analytical approach, which is why I constantly ask myself “how?” and the "why?" behind the engineering of medicine. I...
