I had the opportunity to work in the distinguished lab of Nobel Laureate Kurt Wüthrich, and support on the spectroscopic part from Gerhard Wider is deeply acknowledged.

 

I am sure I forgot to name a few, I apologize...

​

I would also like to acknowledge fruitful discussions with members of industry: Marcel Blommers (Saverna), Wolfgang Jahnke (Novartis), Cesar Fernandez (Novartis) and Alvar Gossert (ETHZ, previously at Novartis) as well as with Hans Senn, Alfred Ross and Werner Klaus from Hoffman LaRoche.
