After the determination of the human genome sequence, the elucidation of the intricate network of molecular interactions that govern physiological processes at the cellular and systemic level has become a major focus of investigation both for basic and applied research. A potential key to understanding the mechanisms that determine and control biological processes is the comprehensive characterisation of individual proteins and their interaction with small and macromolecular ligands. To accomplish this fascinating and challenging task, the traditional separation of science into different disciplines lost its justification and the respective expertise of the different areas of research merged into synergistic interdisciplinary approaches. Indeed, there is an increasing demand in academia, research institutions and industrial companies for scientists who are trained at the interface of chemistry and biology.
