Chemistry fuels improvements to global health by enabling innovation, safer drugs, and sustainable disease prevention. Explore the research behind the impact.
ACS Publications is elevating chemistry research to drive progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through special curated article Showcases, hosted by Kudos. These Showcases simplify and share scientific breakthroughs, making the global impact of chemistry more visible and accessible.
Biological and medicinal chemistry are essential to reaching SDG Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being. These disciplines drive the development of life-saving medicines, targeted drug therapies, and safer pharmaceuticals by exploring the molecular mechanisms of health and disease. Their breakthroughs help fight infectious threats and chronic conditions alike, contributing to stronger healthcare systems and a more resilient future.
This Showcase highlights articles that explore ways to improve well-being by addressing environmental challenges, developing safer technologies, advancing scientific research, and supporting preventive measures.
