Johann Gasteiger is the recipient of the 1991 Gmelin-Beilstein Medal of the German Chemical Society of Achievements in Computer Chemistry and the Herman Skolnik Award of the Division of Chemical Information of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in 1997. Thomas Engel joined the research group headed by Johann Gasteiger at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and is specialist in chemoinformatics.

"The Handbook of Chemoinformatics is the first reference work to be exclusively devoted to this developing field from data to knowledge, and will set the standard as the premier information source for the next decade. This handbook is a must read for experts as well as students of chemistry and biology...rich in content...should find a place in every chemoinformaticians desk and every university library in the world..."
