Reseña del libro "Understanding Bioanalytical Chemistry: Principles and Applications (en Inglés)"
"The title captures the ethos and content precisely. It bringsbasic chemistry into real life with examples that illustrate howchemical principals are inherent to bioanalytical procedures,making them accessible to readers with a background in lifesciences." –Microbiology Today, July 2009 “… a good overview of the basic strategies totackle the complexity of analysis in biological environments andprovides some illustrative examples for a better understanding ofthe theoretical concepts… provides a fundamental introductionto the tools adopted by life and health scientists in the evolvingand exciting new age of “omics” specifically applied tothe diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention ofdisease…” –Analytical and BioanalyticalChemistry, October 2009Although chemistry is core to the life and health sciences, it isoften viewed as a challenging subject.Conventional textbooks tend to present chemistry in a way thatis not always easily accessible to students, particularly thosecoming from diverse educational backgrounds, who may not haveformally studied chemistry before.This prompted the authors to write this particular textbook,taking a new, fresh and innovative approach to teaching andlearning of chemistry, focusing on bioanalysis to set knowledge incontext. This textbook is primarily targeted to undergraduate lifeand health science students, but may be a useful resource forpractising scientists in a range of disciplines.In this textbook the authors have covered basic principles,terminology and core technologies, which include key modernexperimental techniques and equipment used to analyse importantbiomolecules in diagnostic, industrial and research settings.Written by two authors with a wealth of experience in teaching,research and academic enterprise, this textbook represents aninvaluable tool for students and instructors across the diverserange of biological and health science courses.Key Features:Innovative, stand alone teaching and learning resource toenhance delivery of undergraduate chemistry provision to life andhealth scientists.Develops student knowledge and understanding of core conceptswith reference to relevant, real-life, examples.Clearly written and user-friendly, with numerous full colourillustrations, annotated images, diagrams and tables to enhancelearning.Incorporates a modern approach to teaching and learning tomotivate the reader and encourage student-centred learning.Dr Victor Gault has been named recipient of the Rising StarAward 2009 by the internationally acclaimed EuropeanAssociation for the Study of Diabetes (EASD).
