Epigenetic Drug Discovery (Drug Discovery Series, Volume 83) (EPUB)

Epigenetic Drug Discovery Drug Discovery Series

With nearly all major pharmaceutical companies and a significant number of biotechnology companies focusing on epigenetic processes to treat diseases ranging from cancer to Huntington’s disease, from inflammation to sickle cell anemia, epigenetics is one of the fastest-growing areas in drug discovery. With an emphasis on significant advancements and emerging technologies, this book attempts to give a summary of the main subjects covered in contemporary epigenetic drug discovery programs.

Crucially, the book includes case studies and describes the main obstacles and strategies used to get beyond them. For academic and industrial researchers interested in the genetic and epigenetic aspects of drug development, target identification, and validation, this book is a perfect resource. For postgraduate students interested in the intersection of pharmaceuticals and epigenetics, the book is also a great starting point.
