Overview of Drug Development
This reference work gives a complete overview of the different stages of drug development using a translational approach.
Structure of the Book
The book is structured in different parts, following the different stages in drug development. Almost half of the work is dedicated to the core of drug discovery using a translational approach, the identification of appropriate targets and screening methods for the identification of compounds interacting with these targets.
The rest of the book covers the whole downstream pipeline after the identification of lead compounds, such as bioavailability issues, identification of appropriate drug delivery venues, production and scaling issues, and preclinical trials.
Authoritative Chapters
As has been the case with other works in the encyclopedia, the book is made up of long, comprehensive, and authoritative chapters, written by outstanding researchers in the field.
