Biologics, including monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and gene therapies, have transformed modern medicine. This book explores the pharmacokinetic profiles of biologic drugs, addressing their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. It discusses the unique challenges associated with biologic pharmacokinetics, such as immunogenicity, large molecular size, and complex manufacturing processes. Designed for pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, and biotechnologists, the book provides insights into optimizing the pharmacokinetic properties of biologics to enhance their therapeutic efficacy and safety.
Liam Barnes focuses on the pharmacokinetic profiles of biologics, with a particular interest in the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of biologic drugs. Liam has published extensively on the pharmacokinetics of biologic therapies, including monoclonal antibodies and vaccines. He serves as an editor for books dedicated to the pharmacokinetics of biologics.
