This article is a reflection on the development of medicinal chemistry and chemical biology in Europe, and how the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC) helps the scientific community address its changing scope in a proactive manner. Networking, knowledge exchange and representation, as well as the acceptance and integration of novel scientific developments, are keys to a healthy and dynamic scientific community. This article also reviews some of the forces that shape the medicinal chemistry and chemical biology continuum, including cross-fertilization, digitalization, and the outsourcing of synthetic and characterization work to focus on productivity and scientific excellence.
本文反思了欧洲药物化学和化学生物学的发展，以及欧洲药物化学会（EFMC）如何帮助科学界积极应对其不断变化的范围。网络、知识交流和代表、以及对新科学发展的接受和整合，是健康和充满活力的科学界的关键。本文还回顾了塑造药物化学和化学生物学连续体的一些力量，包括交叉授粉、数字化以及将合成和表征工作外包出去，以专注于提高生产力和科学卓越性。
