Summary:

Lecture Notes on Molecular Medicine is a core text that aims to give a concise and clear introduction to how molecular biology works, and how it is used to understand and treat human disease. There are five major sections: basic principles outlines the fundamentals of DNA structure and function, gene structure and expression; manipulation of DNA/RNA introduces the concepts of cutting, separating and transferring genetic material between cells; molecular techniques covers the essential practical aspects of molecular biology that underpin molecular medicine; understanding genetics revises the basics of medical genetics in order to identify the areas to which molecular biology can and has been applied; and molecular medicine in practice describes the discoveries and insights that the application of molecular biology has produced. Lecture Notes on Molecular Medicine will appeal to a wide ranging audience, from medical students to higher examination candidates, who want a straightforward introduction to one of the most important growth areas in modern medicine.
