... the book does an excellent job of compiling a current picture of an important and compelling field of medical research.
Ronald Norton, VP, Operations DNA Sciences

... a very successful approach to cover the emerging discipline of pharmacogenomics from definitions to applications including ethical issues.
This book offers a wealth of highly actual information and can be emphatically recommended not only for those already working in pharmacogenomics but also for newcomers and life scientists who may intend to include pharmacogenomics in their research or teaching.
Matthias U Kassak, University of Bonn, Germany, European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics

... Licinio and Wong have done an exellent job in bringing together a diverse assortment of views by leading experts in the field...
It is a timely and comprehensive book on the subject, and I recommend that it be essential reading for practioners.
The style used is easy to read - story-like and informative...
In conclusion, this is an excellent book that I recommend to be worth reading by all those in the field. I also has value as an important reference source.

"Den beiden Autoren ist es gelungen, alles was Rang und Namen hat, zu einem Beitrag zu ihrem Buch zu bewegen." Laborjournal

"Selten habe ich ein neues Buch in den Händen gehalten, das mich ähnlich fasziniert und das ich zügiger durchgearbeitet hätte. Man kann den Herausgebern und Autoren gratulieren. All diejenigen, die sich im weitesten Sinne mit genetischer Variabilität , mit Targetsuche und Wirkstoffentwicklung beschäftigen, bietet dieses Buch eine exzellente Basis, um sich selbst auf den Stand des aktuellen Wissens zu bringen."
