"I believe this book is truly a hidden gem...

...The self-assessment MCQ’s help to solidify knowledge covered in their relevant section, as well as highlighting areas of difficulty which could be easily found within the book and revised again if needed. I found that these questions were of similar difficulty to the MCQ’s used in lectures and past exam papers, facilitating exam prep...

...The diagrams were all very clear, simple and easy to understand, even when explaining complex mechanisms and routes of targeting...

...In conclusion I found this book really useful for basic and advanced understanding and revision of such a daunting unit. In addition to this it has also helped with thesis writing for my final year project that has a drug-targeting underlining."
