This book offers a unique clinical approach by covering compounds that target TRP channels in pre-clinical and clinical phases, also offering a discussion of TRP channels as biomarkers.
An entire section is devoted to the novel and innovative uses of these channels across a variety of diseases, offering strategies that can be used to overcome the adverse effects of first generation TRPV1 antagonists.
Intended for all researchers and clinicians working toward the development of successful drugs targeting TRP channels, this book is an essential resource chocked full of the latest clinical data and findings.
Arpad Szallasi is a leading expert on the roles of TRP channels in health and disease. He was the first to provide a biochemical proof for the existence of the vanilloid (capsaicin) receptor, now known as TRPV1. Currently, he holds an Associate Professor position at the 1st Department of Pathology and Experimental Cancer Research, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. His research focuses on targeting of TRP channels for therapeutic purposes, with special emphasis on pain and inflammation. Arpad Szallasi obtained his MD degree Summa cum Laude from the Medical University School of Debrecen, Hungary (1984). He received his PhD degree in Pharmacology from the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden (1995). Arpad Szallasi held several research positions both in academia (Karolinska Institute, Washington University, St. Louis, MO) and industry (Menarini Ricerche Sud, Pomezia, Italy) before pursuing a carrier in diagnostic pathology. Arpad Szallasi is a past President for the New Jersey Association of Blood Bank Professional and a former medical advisor to the American Red Cross.
