Gene Profiles in Drug Design
Editat de Brett A. Lidbury, Suresh Mahalingamen Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 iul 2008
The book begins with a discussion of the future clinical impact of genetic diagnosis and gene-based drug therapies. Virally encoded MicroRNA is reviewed, as well as the development of gene-profile-responsive antisense agents. Gene profiles are studied with respect to drug development and cancer research. RNA viruses and RNA-based drugs are also examined. Finally, ethical considerations of this groundbreaking technology are explored.
The information presented in this volume provides readers with a greater understanding of the processes and technologies in gene-profile based drug design. Technologies are discussed in sufficient detail so that drug developers can use the book as a general desk reference. It also provides physicians with an important survey of emerging technologies.
This book is edited by Brett A. Lidbury and Suresh Mahalingam, noted scientists from the Centre for Biomolecular and Chemical Sciences at the University of Canberra in Australia. They bring together the wisdom of numerous experts to discuss the powerful ways that these new genetic technologies can save lives and improve health.

Descriere
Featuring contributions from a multidisciplinary team of researchers, this volume explores the processes and technologies that yield gene profile-based drugs. Each chapter focuses on one component or a single step in the process of translating abstract gene profiles into tangible new drugs. The first part compares the advantages and pitfalls of various methods used to generate gene profiles. The next section discusses current uses of gene profiles in drug design, including lead identification. It concludes with emerging technologies that use gene profiles to design high specificity drugs.
