molecular therapeutics

Molecular therapeutics are medical treatments that target specific molecules within the body’s cells to diagnose, prevent, or cure diseases. Instead of broad approaches like surgery or general drugs, these therapies focus on the genetic or molecular level, such as modifying DNA, RNA, or proteins to address the root cause of a condition. Examples include gene therapy, which inserts or edits genes to treat genetic disorders, and targeted drugs that interfere with disease-related molecules. This personalized approach often results in more effective treatments with fewer side effects, advancing the precision of modern medicine.
