The intention of this book is to bridge the theory-practice gap by providing advanced pharmacokinetics concepts, methods, and applications. Graduate students as well as scientists in the area of clinical pharmacology and pharmacokinetics will find the contents of this book very enlightening and helpfull. The comprehensive coverage of topics on pharmacokinetics in this book offers readers “à la carte” choice to build their knowledge based on their scientific needs. I would like to personally thank all the authors for their excellent contributions to the book. These researchers are at the forefront of innovation in pharmacokinetics and its application to the clinical science and to drug development.
