Abstract

In this contribution, after a brief historical account on the role of chemists on drug discovery, a deeper insight into the modern strategies that scientists employ for the design and production of new drugs that could help to fight against the diseases that concern our society is discussed. Thereafter, an overview on the potential evolution directions of drug discovery linked to the valuable implications of chemists to assist in this evolution is given. Finally, a brief summary of the work that research groups from our Institute carry out in the Biomedicine area is also outlined.
