Ebook: Pharmaceutical Biotechnology: Drug Discovery and Clinical Applications

2nd Edition. — Wiley, 2012. — 658 p.This second edition of a very successful book is thoroughly updated with existing chapters completely rewritten while the content has more than doubled from 16 to 36 chapters. As with the first edition, the focus is on industrial pharmaceutical research, written by a team of industry experts from around the world, while quality and safety management, drug approval and regulation, patenting issues, and biotechnology fundamentals are also covered. In addition, this new edition now not only includes biotech drug development but also the use of biopharmaceuticals in diagnostics and vaccinations. With a foreword by Robert Langer, Kenneth J germeshausen Professor of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at Mit and member of the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of SciencesContents
