PHARMACOGENOMICS - THE SEARCH FOR INDIVIDUALIZED THERAPIES

This work represents the first comprehensive publication in the innovative field of pharmacogenomics, a field which is set to revolutionize pharmaceutical research. In addition to renowned editors, the list of contributors is a "who-is-who" in the field. Broad coverage of all aspects of pharmacogenomics with a full presentation of applications to disease conditions is featured. Anyone involved in pharmaceutical research and drug development needs this book to keep up with this new and revolutionary approach

... 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.
