  • Basic Principles of Drug Discovery and Development

    • 3rd Edition
    • Benjamin E. Blass
    • English
    **Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Pharmacy**Basic Principles of Drug Discovery and Development, Third Edition presents a unique overview of the drug discovery and development program not available elsewhere. Each chapter provides sufficient technical details on the topics covered so that non-experts will have the tools and information necessary to interact and exchange information with colleagues across the entire spectrum of the drug discovery and development process. The drug discovery and development process involves individuals and teams with a wide array of expertise ranging from basic sciences (medicinal chemistry, biology) to applied science (pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical sciences) to business driven fields (regulatory affairs, intellectual property experts, marketing specialists).The success or failure of a program focused on bringing a new medication to market often depends on clear communication between individuals and teams with vastly different expertise. As a result, it is critical that experts in one aspect of drug discovery and development (e.g., medicinal chemists) have a working understanding of the wide range of disciplines that take part in the overall process.
