Chemical Biology Discussion Group
Recent years have seen an increasing level of dialogue between chemists and biologists, particularly as recombinant biotechnology tools have made it possible to manipulate the chemical structure of genes and the proteins they encode. This has led to an explosion of interdisciplinary activity at the chemistry/biology interface known as chemical biology.
The Chemical Biology Discussion Group brings together chemists and biologists interested in learning about the latest ideas in this rapidly growing field. It provides a forum for lively discussion and for establishing collaborations between chemists armed with novel technologies and biologists receptive to using these approaches to solve their chosen biological problems. The group also serves as the Organic Topical Group for the American Chemical Society's New York Chapter.
