Handbook of Personalized Medicine

Advances in Nanotechnology, Drug Delivery and Therapy

edited by Ioannis S. Vizirianakis

“The integration of several concepts and technologies to make personalized medicine an efficient daily practice has been quite difficult but a critical issue of vast importance. Handbook of Personalized Medicine represents a genuine effort to achieve such a long-term goal. A major source of information written in a well-organized fashion in more than 1500 pages, this handbook is the result of long-term hard work of both the editor and the contributors and covers almost everything directly or indirectly related to personalized medicine, including nanotechnologies, materials needed for specific drug delivery systems, medical imaging technologies, pharmacogenomics, drug response variability, drug metabolism and toxicity, pharmacotyping, bioequivalence and pharmakokinetics, as well as bioinformatics and model construction to facilitate improvement of drug delivery and therapy. Each chapter has been contributed by active investigators who are well-known experts and come from different countries and various sectors: academia, pharmaceutical industry, computer companies, pharmacy, and clinical medicine. The book can be of added value to every scientist, investigator or regulator, pharmacist or clinical pharmacologist, developer in pharmaceutical industry, and to teachers in academia as well as students. It fills a gap in the provocative field of personalized medicine.”
