Recenzje

"This is an update on the current understanding of pharmacogenomics, drug targets, and drug transporters. ... This book appears to be written for practitioners and provides clinically relevant information that can be used in practice. ... One of the unique aspects of this book is the focus on the implications of pharmacogenomics with respect to disease prevention, not merely treatment." (Nicole Sifontis, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2018)

This book evaluates trends arising in “-Omics” sciences in terms of their current and potential future application to therapeutic design and understanding of disease. Chapters consider the impact of pharmacogenomics and bioinformatics on drug development, as well as trends in genomics, as applied to understanding of neurodegenerative and lung disease, psychiatry and oncology.

Following the genome studies released in early part of this century, the advent of the -Omics sciences (genomics and pharmacogenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics) has seen the expansion of a vast knowledgebase with utility in preventing and treating disease, and improving health for all. Bioinformatics and improved pharmacogenetic understanding forge a path for improved drug discovery and design methods accounting for differences in delivery and disposition across populations.
