Molecular biology in medicine

Description:

Molecular Biology in Medicine provides a guide through the concepts, language and approaches of molecular biology and shows how it is applied to the practice of medicine. It introduces the basics of gene structure, gene expression and how genetic defects contribute to disease. Individual chapters show how molecular biology underpins our understanding of disease mechanisms and gives details of how this can be used to provide better healthcare, now and in the future. Molecular Biology in Medicine will appeal to a diverse readership, from practising physician or higher examination candidate, who wants to refresh their knowledge of molecular biology; to medical researchers who want to expand their knowledge beyond their ever-shrinking specialist subject; and to the medical and biomedical science student.
