Description
Book SynopsisCombinatorial chemistry has taken the pharmaceutical industry by storm over the past ten to fifteen years. There has been a massive investment in automation by pharmaceutical companies and a demand for graduates/PhDs with experience and knowledge of combinatorial chemistry.
Trade Review"...I found the book a strangely enduring read...I do hope that many chemist, and even biologists will take the time to look at it..." (
Synthesis, No.8 2002)
"Describes combinatorial techniques for the discovery of new drug compounds." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002)
"...perfect for scientists seeking to catch up with current trends or...students seeking to bridge the...divide between their basic scientific education and current practices." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 124, No. 40, 2002)
"...This book helps to ease the transition from biology into chemistry and vice versa..." (Pharmazeutische Industrie, Vol.64, No.12, 2002)
