CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND DRUG DEVELOPMENT FROM FUNDAMENTALS TO OUTPUT (HB 2021) Hardcover

This new volume covers the core principles of clinical biochemistry, cell culture techniques, and concepts in drug discovery and development. It explores three key areas of clinical research: cell culture, clinical biochemistry, and drug development. The book introduces techniques for culturing animal and bacterial cells, highlighting their applications, as well as discussing various cell culture methods. The biochemistry section addresses the fundamentals of clinical biochemistry, including biochemical analysis, diagnostic aids, and quality control measures. It also examines cell membrane receptor signal transduction pathways as potential drug targets. The drug development portion delves into the basics of human disease and the drug discovery process, reviewing in silico, in vitro, and in vivo methods, along with an exploration of drug delivery systems and clinical trials. In total, the volume provides a comprehensive overview of the journey from clinical theory to practical clinical applications.
