Research and Markets Announces the Addition of High-Throughput Screening in Drug Discovery

Research and Markets has announced the addition of High-Throughput Screening in Drug Discovery to their offering.

This book is designed as a professional guide for compound screening in pharmaceutical research and chemical biology.

It discusses the rationale behind "intelligent" screening approaches and presents current methods and technologies for assaying bioactive molecules in a high-throughput situation.

In addition, it treats in detail the analysis of the date generated in the assay and chemoinformatics support for high-throughput data management - a facet that is often neglected but is of tremendous practical importance.

With its focus on bioanalysis and chemical biology, the book will be part of our rapidly growing cluster in this area.

Discover the latest improvements to compound screening in pharmaceutical research and chemical biology, including the chemoinformatic tools needed for proper data evaluation. With contributions from leading pharmaceutical companies in Europe and the US.
