Produktbeschreibung

This volume gives an overview ofstate of the art technologies and future developments in the field ofpreclinical pharmaceutical research. A balanced mix of experts from academiaand industry give insight in selected new developments in the drug discoverypathway. The topics cover the different parts of the drug discovery process,starting with new developments in the target identification and validationarea. The lead generation part as a next step focuses on the requirements andtechnologies to identify new small molecules as lead compounds for furtheroptimization; in a second section the technologies to identify biologics asleads are addressed. The final part focuses on the pharmacological models andtechnologies to characterize new compounds and the impact of biomarkers to facilitatethe transfer of drug candidates into the development phase.
