| Summary: | "This book, edited by two leaders known for driving innovation in the field, focuses on the new discipline of translational medicine as it pertains to drug discovery and development within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Translational medicine seeks to translate biological and molecular knowledge of disease and how drugs work into innovative strategies that reduce the cost and increase the speed of delivering newmedicines for patients. This book describes these general strategies, biomarker development, imaging tools, translational human models, and examples of their application to real-life drug discovery and development. The latest thinking is presented by researchers from many of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly, Abbott, and Novartis, as well as from academic institutions and public-private partnerships that support translational research. This book is essential for anyone interested in translational medicine from a variety of backgrounds (university institutes, medical schools, and pharmaceutical companies) in addition to drug development researchers and decision makers."--Publisher's description. |
