Biopharmaceuticals: Biochemistry and Biotechnology

The latest edition of this highly acclaimed textbook, provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the science and medical applications of biopharmaceutical products. Biopharmaceuticals refers to pharmaceutical substances derived from biological sources, and increasingly, it is synonymous with 'newer' pharmaceutical substances derived from genetic engineering or hybridoma technology.  This superbly written review of the important areas of investigation in the field, covers drug production, plus the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of action together with the biotechnology of major biopharmaceutical types on the market or currently under development. There is also additional material reflecting both the technical advances in the area and detailed information on key topics such as the influence of genomics on drug discovery.

Wiley-Blackwell

Biopharmaceuticals: Biochemistry and Biotechnology provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the science and medical applications of biopharmaceutical products. Specific chapters detail therapeutic substances such as interferons, interleukins and growth factors, as well as hormones, therapeutic enzymes, blood products, antibodies, and vaccines. While the emphasis is placed upon polypeptide-based therapeutic agents, the potential applications of nucleic acids with regard to gene therapy and antisense technology are considered in the final chapter. In addition, other chapters detail regulatory issues as applied to biopharmaceuticals, and how such products are manufactured in practice. The author has produced an up-to-date, easy-to-read book and each chapter is supplemented with a substantial further reading section. It is of particular relevance to students undertaking advanced undergraduate or postgraduate courses in biotechnology, biochemistry, pharmaceutical science or medicine. Its scope also renders it an ideal reference for those already employed in the (bio)pharmaceutical sector who wish to gain a better overview of the industry in which they work.
