Sommario/riassunto

This is the very first comprehensive coverage of pharmacogenomics - a new discipline that will revolutionize health care.Pharmacogenomics leads to the understanding of the key genetic differences between individuals and will permit the individual tailoring of pharmacological treatments. Improved therapeutics can reach new levels by being able to differentiate between individuals according to their susceptibility to disease processes or adverse effects of medication. Pharmacogenomics also contributes to the discovery of new targets for drug development.Outstanding experts in the field p

Sommario/riassunto

If it was possible to run as fast as a cheetah, would you? Or would you rather be able to fly? Readers are faced with this dilemma and many more in this book. Facts and true stories about each scenario help readers make tough choices as they read and envision what it might be like to be bitten by a great white shark or eat a scorpion. Full-color, up-close photographs engage readers' imaginations as they weigh the pros and cons of each choice, practicing decision-making skills useful beyond the pages of this book.
