About this collection

We are pleased to present a series of tutorial reviews at the Chemistry Biology Interface, Guest Edited by Carolyn Bertozzi (Stanford University), Margaret Brimble (University of Auckland), Huimin Zhao (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Hagan Bayley (University of Oxford) and Rebecca Goss (University of St Andrews). The collection is aimed at providing a go to resource for accessible introduction to topics within this field. We envision this primer collection being used by people transitioning into this area/engaging in new cross disciplinary collaboration and as a resource for final year/masters/PhD teaching.
