Biography
Wei Zhao, Harry Yang
"This book is a welcome addition to the literature and fills a needed niche since last book written on drug synergism was over 15 years ago . . . each chapter presents a different technique for solving common challenges in the development of drug combinations. . . Overall, this book serves as a good reference for both researchers in the field of statistics and drug combination development."
~ Jessica L. Jaynes, California State University, Fullerton"Investigating drug combinations is a steadily growing area in preclinical and clinical research.As usual, specific statistical methodology is needed to handle these kinds of trials. . . .the book is generallywell structured and the majority of sections actually builds up on and refers to each other. This book provides a good overview on and a good introduction to the topic of statistical methods for drug combination studies, especially regarding the preclinical part."
