商品簡介
Pharmacogenomics pursues the fantasy of developing drugs that are keyed to a particular individual--identified by their genome. Researchers mostly in the US, but also Canada and Spain identify some of the technical obstacles that need to be overcome, and suggest approaches to doing so. Among their topics are applying micro-arrays and biochips, drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters in chemotherapy, Alzheimer's Disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and the pre-clinical development of vaccines.
