Chemical biology can be broadly defined as a research field to rely on chemical tools to interrogate biology for discovery and perturbation. ASBMB has the historical mission to advance the research of biochemistry and molecular biology through diverse approaches and platforms. Such a mission establishes a key common ground between ASBMB and the chemical biology community given complementary strength and interest. The Chemical Biology Interest Group aims to better promote crosstalk between the two fields. Importantly, we will primarily dedicate the speaking opportunities to emerging young investigators as well as underrepresented minorities. The talks will showcase the emerging technologies that chemical biologists are developing to tackle complex biological problems. The chemical biologists attendees will benefit from the perspectives and questions raised by experts in biology. Biologists will mutually benefit by considering broad utilities of the chemical biology tools and methods.
