Dieser Band schlägt eine Brücke zwischen traditionellen Studienplänen der Chemie und Anwendungen aus dem Grenzgebiet zur Biologie. Die gegenwärtigen Highlights der biomedizinischen Forschung werden ausführlich erläutert und die zugrunde liegenden chemischen Prinzipien erklärt. Unter anderem beschäftigen sich die einzelnen Kapitel mit der Wirkstofforschung auf der Basis von Mechanismen, mit dem Design neuartiger antiviraler und Antitumor-Wirkstoffe und dem magnetischen Transport von Wirkstoffen zu Tumoren.
