Pharmacogenomics in Drug Discovery and Development: 448 (Methods in Molecular Biology) - Tapa dura

From the reviews:

"This volume in the Methods in Molecular Biology series covers pharmacogenomics in drug discovery. ... The book is intended for scientists in academic, industrial, and health care settings who are striving to transform disease treatment into disease prevention. ... The advanced technologies are presented in a very detail manner, even including step-by-step protocols. ... By covering topics from individual molecules to systemic diseases ... this book provides an overview of current knowledge on the use of pharmacogenomics in therapeutics of disease." (Xiaobo Zhong, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2008)

The field of pharmacogenomics arose to develop personalized medicine, or medicine that deals with the complexity of the human body. In this book, leading experts present methodical, state-of-the-art contributions covering topics from individual molecules to systemic diseases, examining both fundamental concepts and advanced technologies. The volume begins by exploring cutting-edge technologies used to pursue systems-based pharmacogenomics, followed by extensive chapters on gene-drug interactions and the use of pharmacogenomics in therapeutics of diseases. This book is ideal for scientists striving to transform disease treatment into disease prevention.
