	Biochips as Pathways to Drug Discovery (Drug Discovery Series)
	By: Andrew Carmen, Gary Hardiman ISBN: 1574444506 Publisher: CRC Release Date: 19 October, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 2503547	Features a wealth of useful information about a number of things relating to microarray technology and its utility in drug discovery. Thus, it hinges on the fact that this field is actively evolving at a rapid pace, and as the title suggests, is going to impact ( if not already ) the Pharmaceutical Industry by minimizing the failure rate of early stage drug developments in drug discovery. <br /> <br />There is so much info packed into this compilation that this review in no way can do it justice. But let me just say it offers an excellent selection of contributing authors providing fundamental reviews in areas of interest for those running a Core Facility, such as laboratory automation, quality control, and amplification stratagies. It also offers many good selections of case studies for Cancer Drug Discovery, ChIP-on-Chip, Multiplexed Platforms, Toxigenomics, and Malaria Antiparasitic Discovery, and Protein Arrays to name a few. <br /> <br />In particular, I enjoyed the coverage of the Industry as a sector with chapters discussing the evolution of the science itself, the platforms available, the future directions, and the market shares and trends of the companies involved. I would say one of strengths of this book lies in its ability to present the biological meaning of the concepts presented e.g. "the use of biochips for elucidating the mechansims of drug action" and "vaccine developments". The other great thing is that it covers the bleeding edge information of the field, so you are getting the most current stuff from those on the front-lines actively using, developing, and shaping the future direction of the field itself. I give it five stars without blinking an eye :)
