Pathway Analysis for Drug Discovery: Computational Infrastructure and Applications [With CDROM]

This book introduces drug researchers to the novel computational approaches of pathway analysis and explains the existing applications that can save time and money in the drug discovery process. It covers traditional computational methods and software for pathway analysis microarray, proteomics, and metabolomics. It explains pathway reconstruction of diseases and toxic states, pathway analysis in various phases, dynamic modeling of drug responses, and more. This is a core resource for drug discovery and pharmaceutical industry researchers, chemists, and biologists and for professionals in related fields.

ANTON YURYEV, PhD, is the Senior Director of Application Science at Ariadne Genomics Inc. His department studies the topological and evolutionary properties of biological networks and develops algorithms for pathway reconstruction and analysis of high-throughput data. Dr. Yuryev has published more than thirty scientific publications and is the author of several algorithms for primer design and pathway analysis.
