Resumen en inglés The development of medicine was made possible thanks to the advances produced in chemistry. Research on sickle-cell anemia by Linus Pauling and his team is a clear example. The understanding of this disease in molecular terms was made possible by the transference of knowledge, methodologies and tools from the chemical and biological disciplines. This paper analyzed the process under which molecular medicine was developed, the frameworks and guidelines that dictate its realization, and their epistemological and ontological implications. We also analyzed the work that Warren Weaver and Robert S. Morrison did in the Rockefeller Foundation, which turned essential in such process
