Discover the future of medicine in this extensively updated edition of the pioneering textbook, reflecting the rapid progress in the field

Molecular medicine is a rapidly growing field, and the molecular basis of diseases can be used to develop therapeutic approaches in numerous other medical subfields. Research into molecular medicine has been used as the basis for gene therapy, precision medicine, and more. Molecular Medicine provides a fundamental overview of this cutting-edge, interdisciplinary field, incorporating modules from basic immunology to virology to new approaches. Now fully updated to reflect the exponential progress in biomedical research, it promises to put students on the leading edge of a revolution in the life sciences.

Readers of the second edition of Molecular Medicine will also find:

• Detailed discussion of cutting-edge topics including cancer stem cells, mRNA vaccines, organs-on-a-chip, and more
• Professional artwork throughout
• Chapter summaries, exercises, and study questions for each chapter

Molecular Medicine is ideal for graduate students in life sciences and medicine, as well as the lecturers and libraries that support them.
