Venomics

Venomics is the scientific study of venom from various organisms, such as snakes, spiders, and other venomous creatures. Researchers analyze the complex mixtures of proteins, peptides, and toxins in venoms to understand their effects on biological systems. This knowledge can lead to medical advancements, including the development of new painkillers, treatments for diseases, and antidotes for bites and stings. By unraveling the properties of venoms, scientists aim to harness their potential for therapeutic uses, transforming harmful substances into valuable resources for healthcare.
