What I mentioned was that we have a shortage of medicinal chemists. A medicinal chemist is a chemist who makes molecules. All drugs are molecules, but not all molecules are drugs, and it takes people with a subset of interests to be able to identify those.
As mentioned, we actually do have a shortage of medicinal chemists, people who want to make drug molecules in this country. I don't know if that's in NSERC's mandate or CIHR's mandate, but I wish that it was in someone's mandate for them to identify medicinal chemists as a relative area and to encourage the nurturing and training of people in that particular area.
