With the advancements made in the field of Molecular Biology, the Pharmacology aspects have been unfolded at the molecular levels. To make the students aware of the recent advances made in the field of Pharmacology and Molecular biology,a new subject, “Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology,” has been introduced by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) in the curriculum of M Pharmacy (Pharmacology) students. Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology is the first book of this type in the market for the M Pharmacy students and is written as per the new syllabus of PCI, India. The book is divided into five units and 20 chapters. The book provides key insight into topics including recombinant DNA technology, PCR, ELISA, Blotting, Gene therapy, Gene Sequencing, Autophagy, Apoptosis,MicroArray Technique, Gel electrophoresis, pharmacogenomics, Gene mapping,Genetic Variations, Proteomics. Genomics, Cell signaling pathways,Immunotherapeutics, Biosimilars, Animal Cell Culture, Assays, and Flow Cytometry. We hope the book will cater the needs of students as well as young faculty in understanding the basics of cellular and molecular pharmacology. In each chapter, the special emphasis has been made to explain the concepts of molecular biology and pharmacology in the form of figures, tables and flow
charts. At the end of each chapter, review questions of both subjective as well as of objective types have been added, which will be very helpful to students as well as teachers. We hope that the book shall meet the demands of post-graduate students as well as young faculty in understanding the basic aspects related to human anatomy and physiology.
