Introduction to biological and small molecule drug research and development : theory and case studies /

The fundamental concept of the book is to provide, for the first time, an introduction to understand the science behind successful pharmaceutical research and development programs. As well as explaining the basic principles, the book compares and contrasts approaches to both biopharmaceuticals (prot...
