Produktbeschreibung

Computational Methods in Drug Discovery and Repurposing for Cancer Therapy provides knowledge about ongoing research as well as computational approaches for drug discovery and repurposing for cancer therapy. The book also provides detailed descriptions about target molecules, pathways, and their inhibitors for easy understanding and applicability. The book discusses tools and techniques such as integrated bioinformatics approaches, systems biology tools, molecular docking, computational chemistry, artificial intelligence, machine learning, structure-based virtual screening, biomarkers, and transcriptome; those are discussed in the context of different cancer types, such as colon, pancreatic, glioblastoma, endometrial, and retinoblastoma, among others. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and members of the biomedical and medical fields who want to learn more about the use of computational modeling to better tailor the treatment for cancer patients.
