This is the first book to cover every angle in the clinical application of biologics. Readers will not only find that all of the biologics currently approved for clinical use are delineated in a standardized way, but also the 'differential therapy' with biologics in fields including dermatology and neurology is described in detail and summarized in treatment algorithms. Shorter sections on biologic biotechnology as well as safety and regulatory issues complement the more clinically-oriented central chapters.



Wolf-Henning Boehncke is a scholar of the German Scholarship Foundation. His research work has been supported by continuous funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG). He was awarded numerous prestigious prizes including the Galenus-von Pergamon Prize. Currently, he is head of the Allergy/Immunology Section at the Center for Dermatology at Frankfurt University. He is a member of numerous national and international boards involved in setting up guidelines for the clinical use of biologicals.

Heinfried H. Radeke is holding the Dr.-Schleussner-Foundation of Immune Pharmacology professorship. His research work has been supported by continuous funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG). His specialization is in pharmacology, clinical pharmacology and immunology. His numerous publications reflect the intensive research he has been doing for the past 15 years in the fields of chronic inflammation, transplantation and immune pharmacology. He is actively involved in the establishment of the new B.Sc./M.Sc. studies in Molecular Medicine at Goethe University Frankfurt. He is also involved in the development of the curricula and the lecture courses of the recently established graduate college 'Biologicals' (GK1172) at Goethe University Frankfurt.
