Final Report Abstract

The elucidation of the intricate network of molecular interactions that govern physiological processes at the cellular and systemic level has become a major focus of basic and applied research. This fascinating, yet challenging task requires that multiple scientific disciplines unite to create new synergistic interdisciplinary approaches. Indeed, there is an increasing demand in academia, research institutions, and industry for scientists who are trained at the interface of Chemistry and Biology. Thus, the interdisciplinary Konstanz Research School for Chemical Biology (KoRS-CB) was established to provide the optimal education and training for young scientists working at the intersection of chemistry and biology. To foster training beyond the limits of traditional disciplines, the KoRS-CB research programme is based on intimate collaborative research efforts within and between the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Computer & Information Science at the University of Konstanz. This interdisciplinary concept has significantly gained momentum and culminated to research activities that develop novel mutually illuminating approaches for an increased understanding of cellular processes at the molecular and atomic level. The curriculum of KoRS-CB familiarizes its doctoral fellows with prevailing fields of research by exchanging methods, principles, and concepts. This training provides doctoral researchers with a strong interdisciplinary foundation that will enable them to understand and experimentally approach complex cellular processes and, thus, to pursue a successful career in academia or industry. The doctoral training programme of KoRS-CB that builds on the Bachelor/Master study course Life Science - established in 2002 and jointly supported by the Departments of Chemistry and Biology - is continuously refined to adjust the education of the next generations of researchers to conceptual and technological developments and increasing demands in scientific and transferable skills. In summary, KoRS-CB is a key element of the interdisciplinary research and training priority focus on Chemical Biology at the University of Konstanz. Further advances of the research and training programme combined with increasing integration of internationally renowned research institutes placed the University of Konstanz as a nationally and internationally recognized centre for Chemical Biology.
