Herbert Waldmann obtained his PhD in organic chemistry from the University of Mainz in 1985 working with Professor Horst Kunz, after which he completed a postdoctoral appointment with Professor G. Whitesides at Harvard University. He was appointed as Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Bonn (1991), full Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Karlsruhe (1993), and Director at the MPI of Molecular Physiology Dortmund and Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Dortmund (1999). His research interests lie in the synthesis and use of small molecules in chemical biology research, the chemical biology of protein lipidation and protein microarrays.

Petra Janning studied chemistry at the University of Münster, Germany, and did her PhD thesis at the Institute for Analytical Sciences in Dortmund (1995). After different positions where she worked in the area of analytical chemistry and on the borderline between chemistry and biology she joined the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology, Dortmund, in the department of Professor H. Waldmann, where she is currently working. She is responsible for the bioorganic Practical Course and the analytics in the department. Her work is focused on the development of chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods used in the institute.
