Pharmacogenomics cover

Pharmacogenomics: From Discovery to Clinical Implementation is a complete reference aimed at building a solid foundation of the key concepts in this fast-moving knowledge area. The book's chapters over the foundational aspects of pharmacogenomics, including drug metabolism, drug discovery, development, and testing, and then detail studies of key health conditions and the potential therapeutic applications of pharmacogenomics. Diseases covered include diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, psychiatric disease, cancer, pulmonary and respiratory diseases, viral diseases, gastroenterology, autoimmune diseases, immunosuppressants, and, finally, an overview of computational resources. This is the perfect resource for pharmaceutical science graduate students to learn the key concepts of the area. However, researchers and graduate students in the related fields of genetics, pharmacoepidemiology, molecular biology, and medicinal chemistry will also benefit from the structured approach of the book.

"[A] comprehensive, in-depth overview of pharmacogenomics,.... suitable for the new or seasoned professional,.... [and] useful to those who have an interest or desire to learn about pharmacogenomics and the practical application of therapeutic treatment options for commonly encountered disease states. This edition is unique,... providing a very comprehensive reference list for further reading on the chapter topics.... The use and placement of tables, charts, lists, and diagrams are beneficial and well thought out for visual learners.... The book is an all-inclusive resource for the pharmacy professional interested in or currently practicing in this newer clinical area. The more robust second half includes available information on commonly encountered health conditions, combined with a more in-depth assessment of therapeutic drug response with traditional and available medications based on identified genomic markers and individual gene attributes." --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Francine Ann Farnsworth, PharmD, BCPS, CPE, FASHP, FVSHP (Department of Veterans Affairs)
