Drug Delivery and Targeting For Pharmacists and Pharmaceutical Scientists

Recent advances in biotechnology and molecular biology have resulted in a large number of novel molecules with the potential to revolutionize the treatment and prevention of disease. However, such potential is severely compromised by significant obstacles to delivery of these drugs in vivo. These obstacles mean that drug delivery and targeting is now recognized as the key to effective development of many therapeutics. This textbook is the first to provide a comprehensive introduction to the principles of advanced drug delivery and targeting, their current applications and potential future development, making it indispensable for pharmaceutical students, scientists and researchers.Hillery, Anya M. is the author of 'Drug Delivery and Targeting For Pharmacists and Pharmaceutical Scientists' with ISBN 9780415271974 and ISBN 0415271975.
