Elementary Pharmacoinformatics St edition

Pharmacoinformatics is an informatics based discipline, concerned with the information, design, discovery and development of drugs using high performance computing and graphic tools. This material covers principles and applications of health informatics, cheminformatics and bioinformatics. It comprehensively covers the current advances and in silico strategies used in drug information and drug design. Each of 29 chapters reviews the concepts of pharmacy automation, mechanistic drug design and bioinformatics. The book avoids the use of high level descriptions to convert the subject interesting. This concise source of information will be of immense benefit to the learning community of pharmacy, bio-technology, biomedical engineering and other interdisciplinary fields.
