The Science and Business of Drug Discovery: Demystifying the Jargon

摘要

This book resulted from the many courses that the author has given to PhD students and professionals from diverse disciplines and backgrounds, in order to introduce them to the complexities of drug dis- covery, clinical development, pharmaceutical marketing and business. The author has 20 years of hands-on experience in pharmaceutical discovery and development in industry, an extensive network of collaborators and colleagues, and an excellent up-to-date overview and thorough insight into the many relevant activities, processes, and environments of the pharmaceutical business. He is thus in a unique position to convey a coherent picture of the most intrinsically complex matters and to facilitate both a digestible entry for the newcomer or interested outsider and a helpful overview for the expert professional or insider. This has been achieved in an outstanding fashion.
