title: Opportunities for chemical biologists: a view from the National Institutes of Health.
abstract: The most exciting and vibrant areas of research often lie at the interfaces between disciplines that have traditionally been separate. In the case of the chemical and biological sciences, such interfaces have been fruitfully explored for more than a century. The fields of pharmacology, biochemistry, and biophysical chemistry are relatively mature, yet they are still quite active and full of challenging problems and opportunities for new discoveries. These fields are integral to biomedical research and have had a tremendous impact on human health.
