Gisbert Schneider is Professor for Chemoinformatics and Bioinformatics at the University of Frankfurt (Germany). He studied Biochemistry, Medicine and Computer Science at the University of Berlin where he also obtained his PhD. He spent postdoctoral terms at the MIT in Cambridge, in Stockholm and Frankfurt before joining Hoffmann-La Roche in Basel. After five years in pharmaceutical research, he became the first Beilstein Professor for Chemoinformatics at the University of Franfurt. In 2006 he won the title "Professor of the Year" in the annual national contest run by the journal "Unicum". Karl-Heinz Baringhaus is the Head of Computational Chemistry at Aventis Pharma in Frankfurt (Germany). He studied Chemistry at the University of Münster where he also obtained his PhD degree. After a postdoctoral term at Stanford University he joined the Hoechst AG, where he was appointed head of Molecular Modeling and Computational Chemistry.

"In glänzendem Englisch verfasst und mit Sinn für ergänzende Grafiken, faszinieren die beiden Autoren den Leser rasch mit dieser einzigartigen und deutlich anwendungsbezogenen Wissenschaft, die wie kaum eine andere fast künstlerische Elemente enthält. Zur Vorbereitung einer Karriere in der medizinischen Chemie, dem Hauptanwendungsfeld des Molekulardesigns,
ist das Buch unverzichtbar."
