Human Molecular Biology: An Introduction to the Molecular Basis of Health and Disease

Human Molecular Biology is an introduction to the molecular basis of health and disease for the new generation of life scientists and medical students. By integrating cutting-edge molecular genetics and biochemistry with the latest clinical information, the book weaves a pattern that unifies biology with syndromes, genetic pathways with developmental phenotypes, and protein function with drug action. Lavishly illustrated throughout with two-color diagrams and full color clinical pictures, this text brings the complexities and breadth of human molecular biology clearly to life.

Human Molecular Biology is an introduction to the language of health and disease for the new generation of life scientists and medical students. By integrating cutting-edge molecular genetics and biochemistry with the latest clinical information, the book weaves a pattern which unifies biology with syndromes, genetic pathways with developmental phenotypes, and protein function with drug action. From the origins of life to the present day, a narrative is traced through the workings of genomes, cells and organ systems, culminating in linking of laboratory technologies to future research horizons.
