Customer Reviews

Good, but very basic

I bought this book since a University offered me a Molecular Medicine postgraduate class. The truth is I find the book too basic, but I gave it four stars because even though It's simple, It has a very good order and few but very well searched examples. It is a very good choice for somebody willing to have a first approximation with molecular medicine; for somebody with background in the subject I don't recommend it.

Good introduction to molecular medicine for clinicians

I am creating a module in moleculr medicine for postgraduate trainees in haematology. I feel that they can read this easily to obtain a useful background. There are not as many illustrations as in similar books, but the text is clear and the illustrations appropriate.
