"A partnership between a broad, classical university and academic hospital with a global pharma company is a dream playground for interdisciplinary research. Creating molecules that cure patients cannot be solved by chemists, doctors or AI researchers alone: it needs scientist to step out of their own domains and solve problems together with colleagues with very different expertise, speaking different languages and with a a completely different outlook on the world!" - Jeroen Jansen, Analytical Chemistry & Chemometrics, uu77
