Introduction to Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Volume 1 (Second Edition)

This volume begins with an introduction to biotechnology and its main branches, explaining both the basic science and the applications of biotechnology derived pharmaceuticals, with special emphasis on their clinical use and applications. In this book such topics as DNA isolation procedures followed by molecular markers and screening methods of the genomic library are explained in detail. Interesting areas like isolation, sequencing, and synthesis of genes, with the broader coverage on synthesis of genes, are also described. All major sub disciplines within this field are included with added material related to RNA science, mRNA vaccines and CRISPR (advanced gene editing) technology. All appropriate materials will be updated to include state-of-the-art research advancements. It continues step-by-step presentation of concepts and techniques. In addition, where appropriate additional multimedia (in the form of videos) will be added as case studies.Key features:
