organic chemists

Molecule-building researchers

Organic chemists are scientists who study carbon-based compounds—the molecules that make up living things and countless synthetic materials.

They synthesize new compounds, analyze molecular structures, and develop applications in pharmaceuticals, plastics, fuels, and agriculture: Organic chemists developed the process for manufacturing the drug.
