Das vorliegende Buch stellt das erste Kurs-basierte Lehrbuch der Molekularen Medizin dar. In einem einheitlichen Konzept vermitteln fünfzehn Kapitel ein breites Spektrum an Themen, die von den Grundlagen der Immunologie bis zu krankheitsrelevanten Signalwegen reichen. Neue molekular basierte Entwicklungen werden dargestellt, die Disziplinen von der Onkologie über Virologie, Gentherapie, Stammzelltechnologie bis hin zu neuen Ansätzen der personalisierten Medizin umfassen. Die Inhalte werden durch zahlreiche professionelle Abbildungen verdeutlicht. Ein Ethikkapitel und zusätzliche Arbeitsmaterialien runden das Buch ab.
