Preface
This book puts together excerpts from the various writings of the author on biotechnology topics as they relate to disorders of the nervous system. It is meant for neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroscientists. The book will be useful for those working in life sciences and the pharmaceutical industries, particularly those developing diagnostics and therapeutics for the nervous system. Basics of neurobiotechnology, such as neurogenomics and neuroproteomics, are described. Molecular diagnostics have important applications in neurology for neurogenetic disorders, infections, neurodegenerative diseases, and brain tumors. Biomarkers also provide important information relevant to diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of treatment. Sequencing is making important contributions to molecular diagnostic
