Pharmaceutical Biotechnology offers students taking Pharmacy
and related Medical and Pharmaceutical courses a comprehensive
introduction to the fast-moving area of biopharmaceuticals. With a
particular focus on the subject taken from a pharmaceutical
perspective, initial chapters offer a broad introduction to protein
science and recombinant DNA technology- key areas that underpin the
whole subject. Subsequent chapters focus upon the development,
production and analysis of these substances. Finally the book moves
on to explore the science, biotechnology and medical applications
of specific biotech products categories. These include not only
protein-based substances but also nucleic acid and cell-based
products.

* introduces essential principles underlining modern
biotechnology- recombinant DNA technology and protein science

* an invaluable introduction to this fast-moving subject aimed
specifically at pharmacy and medical students

* includes specific 'product category chapters'
focusing on the pharmaceutical, medical and therapeutic properties
of numerous biopharmaceutical products.

* entire chapter devoted to the principles of genetic engineering
and how these drugs are developed.

* includes numerous relevant case studies to enhance student
understanding

* no prior knowledge of protein structure is assumed

Dr Gary Walsh, Chemical and Environmental Science Department, University of Limerick, Republic of Ireland.
