WILEY HANDBOOK OF CURRENT AND EMERGING DRUG THERAPIES, VOLUMES 1-4

Within every major therapeutic area, the Wiley Handbook of Current and Emerging Drug Therapies provides a general overview of the etiology and pathophsiology of the important disease indications. Then, you'll find a comprehensive analysis of currently approved drugs targeting these diseases, with information on mechanism of action, efficacy, side effects and future prospects. You'll also find product-by-product analyses of drugs currently in development, including mechanism of action, formulations, and detailed information on the status of clinical trials.

This reference also includes authoritative essays on key topics:

• The Drug Discovery Process—Overview
  [Dr. Hugo Kubinyi of the University of Heidelberg]
• Clinical Trials—Overview
  [Dr. Curtis L. Meinert, Director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Clinical Trials]

and detailed, market-oriented analyses of:

• Emerging Technologies and Business Opportunities
• Global Markets and National Policy
• New Opportunities in Drug Discovery and Pipeline Development
