Molecular Targets and Therapeutic Design

Molecular Targets and Therapeutic Design provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape and future directions in the identification and exploitation of molecular targets for the development of new therapeutics. This volume brings together leading experts to discuss the fundamental principles of target discovery, validation, and the strategies used to design molecules that modulate biological pathways in disease. Topics covered include the structural and functional characterization of targets, the use of computational and high-throughput screening methods, advances in drug design and development, and emerging technologies such as gene editing and biologics. The book also explores challenges and opportunities in translating basic research findings into clinical applications, with case studies highlighting successful examples from oncology, infectious diseases, neurological disorders, and more.
