Providing a comprehensive and real world examination of biochip technologies, this book goes on to explore their applications to drug discovery. The book presents a detailed overview of the current state of
biochip technology, examining the effects of biochips on biomedical research and specifically the pharmaceutical industry. This text presents technology platforms in detail and explores the clinical relevance of biochips, ChIP-chip assays, and high-throughput approaches. It also covers intellectual property concerns and includes applications to the study of disease, drug-safety and toxicogenomics, and Pharmacogenomics and SNPs (Single Nucleotide Poymorphisms).
Features a wealth of useful information about a number of things relating to
microarray technology and its utility in drug discovery. Thus, it hinges on the fact that this field is actively evolving…
