Reviews

Prepublication praise Lex Adjei and Pramod Gupta have been at the forefront of the development of inhaled peptide and protein therapy for many years and have the ideal credentials to be editing this volumeThe text is a gold mine of information. -Steve Newman, Chief Scientist, Pharmaceutical Profiles, Ltd., Nottingham, England a very valuable book which presents a vast source of information for respiratory protein delivery. -European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics The book's encyclopedic level of content, its extensive index of cited authors, and sujbect index make it an important reference. Its scholarship and readability makes it a necessary library addition for both basic and clinical scientists interested in peptide drugs, pharmaceutical delievery, and respiratory tract therapeutics. -Pharmaceutical Research
