Rezension

"Beautiful color illustrations make a complex subject easier to understand in this book on the fundamentals of molecular and cell biology. . . It is intended as a resource for those who are seriously interested in molecular biotechnology. . .Given the rapid advances in the area of molecular biotechnology, this updated second edition is an important resource for all those interested in this field." (Doody's, 30 September 2011) "Overall, however, I am very satisfied with the contents of this book (I wish I could edit such a nice book !), and would like to recommend it to the undergraduate and graduate students alike who want to quickly yet thoroughly learn the fundamentals and many applications of molecular biotechnology. Also, this book will be a nice and smooth reading for professors, researchers, and professionals in the field of bioscience and biotechnology to update themselves who wish to catch up with the recent developments in molecular biotechnology. In conclusion, this book will be a must read for modern bioscientists and biotechnologists and those who want to become." (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, 1 May 2011) "This book is a must read for modern bioscientists and biotechnologists and those who want to become one.” (Biotechnology Journal, 1 July 2011)

Autorenportrait

Michael Wink studied biology and chemistry in Bonn and was awarded his doctorate from TU Braunschweig in 1980. After gaining his lecturing qualification in 1984/1985, he was awarded a Heisenberg grant by the German Research Council to work at the Max Planck Institute for Breeding Research in Cologne and from then at the gene center of Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich. Following a chair for pharmaceutical biology at Mainz University in 1988, he accepted the post of Professor for Pharmaceutical Biology at the University of Heidelberg one year later. Between 2002 and 2004 he was the founding and managing director of the Institute for Pharmacy and Molecular Biotechnology, and dean from 2001 to 2005 for the new and popular course in molecular biotechnology offered by the university. Professor Wink's areas of interest include pharmaceutical research, molecular biotechnology, and medicinal plants, as well as research into secondary materials and evolution.
