"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 cellsBackground to chemistry of small and
large moleculesHistorical background to drug discovery,
pharmacology and biotechnologyThe drug discovery pipeline: from
target discovery to marketed medicineCommercial aspects of drug
discoveryChallenges to the biopharmaceutical industry and its
responses Material of specific interest to technology transfer
executives, recruiters and pharmaceutical translators.
