Tadhg P. Begley is Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. Begley (PhD, California Institute of Technology, 1983) is a leading figure in the chemical biology community. He is the recipient of a number of awards for teaching and research, including the Merck Faculty Development Award and the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award.

"This book is an excellent compilation of various topics in chemical biology. The chapters are written by experts in the field and are self-explanatory. The book is essential reading for researchers in chemical biology."  (Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Jan - June 2010) “If we needed one, perhaps this is the bible of chemical biology. It should find its place in any chemistry or biology library because it provides a very strong entry into a number of important and contemporary research topics and methods that are relevant to both fields, and constitute the essence of chemical biology.” (ChemBioChem, October 2009)
