The Science and Business of Drug Discovery is written for those who
want to learn about the biopharmaceutical industry and its products
whatever their level of technical knowledge. Its aim is to
demystify the jargon used in drug development, but in a way that
avoids over simplification and the resulting loss of key
information. Each of the nineteen chapters is illustrated with
figures and tables which clarify some of the more technical points
being made. Also included is a drug discovery case history which
draws the relevant material together into a single chapter. In
recognizing that it is difficult to navigate through the many
external resources dealing with drug development, the book has been
written to guide the reader towards the most appropriate
information sources, including those listed in the two appendices.
The following topics are covered: Different types of drugs: from
small molecules to stem cells Background to chemistry of small and
large molecules Historical background to drug discovery,
pharmacology and biotechnology The drug discovery pipeline: from
target discovery to marketed medicine Commercial aspects of drug
discovery Challenges to the biopharmaceutical industry and its
responses Material of specific interest to technology transfer
executives, recruiters and pharmaceutical translators.
