    Developments of antifungal agents have declined as compared to other antibiotics that have displayed a potent development with time. There is an urgent need for both prophylactic and therapeutic treatments worldwide to control the severity of infections caused by Candida. Anticandidal Therapeutics: Discovery and Development provides the readers with a compiled knowledge of the fungal human infection Candida and the development of anticandidal drugs. Anticandidal Therapeutics helps researchers form the basis for the discovery and development of novel anticandidal therapies. In 14 chapters this book provides collective information on anticandidal agents and their discovery and development with respect to major drug transporter families, different stages of anticandidal agent development, recent trends and progress in antifungal translational research, clinical studies status of anticandidal therapeutic agents, and drug repurposing for development of novel anticandidal agents.

  • Metabolomics

    A Path Towards Personalized Medicine
    • 1 Edición
    • Mahbuba Rahman
    • Inglés
    Metabolomics: A Path Towards Personalized Medicine integrates environmental factors of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, providing a bridge to resolve gaps between fundamental science and applications in clinical medicine and population health. The concept of personalized medicine or precision medicine is of great interest in biomedical research as it helps bring about new drug discovery and biomarker identification. In addition, it helps clinicians prescribe the right medicine to the right person with maximum efficacy and minimum toxicity, allowing clinicians to further predict the susceptibility to disease onset of vulnerable populations.The book is ideally suited for researchers and postgraduate students who are interested in clinical and non-clinical studies where metabolites are used for the identification of disease and therapeutic targets.
