| Summary |
"This guide gets readers up to speed on the latest advances and technologies in diverse approaches to drug discovery, covering: existing antivirals, including broadly effective anti-respiratory virus agents; the development of high-throughput screening assays; IFN resistance; the development of nucleic acid-based antiviral drugs; antiviral RNAi strategies targeting influenza virus; and other promising antiviral drug discovery strategues." "Combating the Threat of Pandemic Influenza: Drug Discovery Approaches consolidates the latest information on diverse approaches into one comprehensive resource. It is a hands-on reference for researchers in medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, drug discovery, biochemistry, virology and microbiology and public health."--BOOK JACKET |
