Episode 4 🎙️Cleaner by Design - How Enzymes Are Making Medicines Greener | Guest-Ragini

Awakity with Manasa | Season 1 · Episode 4 Cleaner by Design - How Enzymes Are Making Medicines Greener How can enzymes help us make medicines in a cleaner and more sustainable way? In this episode of Awakity with Manasa, host and computational biologist Manasa speaks with Ragini, a PhD scholar working on green chemistry and biocatalysis, about how enzymes can help transform the way pharmaceutical molecules are made. Together, we explore what green chemistry means, why traditional chemical manufacturing can be harsh on the environment, how enzymes offer a cleaner alternative, and why molecular precision matters when making medicines. A simple and accessible conversation about enzymes, sustainable medicine, and the future of greener pharmaceutical manufacturing.
