In this perspective, we argue that the complexification of
medicinal chemistry and the rise of chemical biology over the
last 40 years, which has been a necessary step to produce better
and safer drugs, has created the framework for a rapid and ef-
fective response to the challenge of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
Scientific societies such as ours have played an essential role in
this process by cultivating information exchange and networking
within and across disciplines and generations of scientists from
multiple backgrounds. They must continue to do so in the future
