Introduction

Frontiers in Clinical Drug Research – Hematology is an eBook series that brings updated reviews to readers interested in learning about advances in the development of pharmaceutical agents for the treatment of hematological disorders. The scope of the eBook series covers a range of topics including the medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology and biochemistry of natural and synthetic drugs employed in the treatment of anemias, coagulopathies, vascular diseases and hematological malignancies. Reviews in this series also include research on specific antibody targets, therapeutic methods, genetic hemoglobinopathies and pre-clinical / clinical findings on novel pharmaceutical agents. Frontiers in Clinical Drug Research – Hematology is a valuable resource for pharmaceutical scientists and postgraduate students seeking updated and critically important information for developing clinical trials and devising research plans in the field of hematology, oncology and vascular pharmacology.

The first volume of this series features 6 chapters that cover a variety of topics including:

  • - Computational methods, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation
  • - Recent advances in the treatment of Beta-Thalassemia Major
  • - Research on multiple myeloma and leukemia
  • - Molecular imaging in hematology
