About this book

Biotechnology and Pharmacy offers a unique overview of the principles of biotechnology and their applications in the pharmaceutical sciences. The book assumes a basic knowledge of biology and chemistry and was written as a text suitable for students of pharmacy or other health sciences. The first part of the book describes the basic elements of biotechnology, such as recombinant DNA and monoclonal antibody technology; the second part comprehensively covers applications of biotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of disease; and the final part offers a practical discussion of how biotechnology products will affect the practice of pharmacy.
Microbiologists, biochemists, and medicinal chemists will also find this book to be a valuable reference.

Reviews

`Preparations, analytical methods, and current and possible applications for the products are presented well, along with accompanying references for further study. The book is remarkably free of the jargon that one finds in the specialists' literature.'
