Pharmaceutical Biotechnology

Pharmaceutical Biotechnology’, with its focus on industrial pharmaceutical research, offers a comprehensive manual on the subject. It reflects the combination of such pharmaceutical interests as drug delivery, drug targeting, quality and safety management, drug approval and regulation, patenting issues and biotechnology fundamentals. It also offers an erudite survey and review of the rapidly increasing array of biopharmaceuticals derived from molecular biological approaches now widely available, followed by section devoted to the very critical and patenting issues involved in this industry. Also included are the basic science and the applications of biotechnology produced pharmaceuticals, with special emphasis on their clinical use. Moreover, new technologies and trends, which project both benefits and challenges to this field, have been thoroughly detailed, reviewed and assessed.
