Stanford University has recently launched the Stanford Institute for Chemical Biology, designed as a partnership between the School of Medicine, Humanities and Sciences, and Engineering.  The core mission of the Institute is to strengthen the chemical foundations of human biology and to accelerate molecular discoveries that could ultimately transform human health.  The Institute will foster an environment for learning across physical science, engineering, biology and medicine, and train future leaders who can traverse traditional disciplinary boundaries to explore problems that advance our understanding of human function. The opportunities for connecting the time-honored principles of chemical structure, reactivity and intermolecular forces with the formidable complexity of human biology will be illustrated through the author's own research program on celiac disease.
