Reihe: Methods in Molecular Biology

These volumes review the most current methods for drug target discovery and validation. They explore how recent improvement in understanding the molecular mechanisms of human pathology is impacting drug target discovery in the laboratory and in real therapeutics, specifically for cancers and autoimmune disorders. This book provides a thorough review of the most cutting-edge methods available for each step in drug target identification, validation, and clinical application.
