Stevan R. Emmett is Principal Medical Officer at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratories (Dstl) where he works as a Consultant in Pharmaceutical Medicine. His expertise lies in translational medicine, drug development and the application of basic pharmacology and toxicology to clinical conditions. Stevan initially undertook an undergraduate degree in Neuroscience, subsequently undertaking a D.Phil in Pharmacology at the University of Oxford before moving onto a postdoctoral position and Project Leadership in a biotechnology company. Stevan completed Medicine at the University of Warwick, training in the East and West Midlands as a NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow and he continues to practice clinically, alongside his Dstl role, as Senior Clinical Fellow in Emergency Medicine at the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust.Nicola Hill qualified as a pharmacist from Cardiff University in 1998 and after completing a Pre-Registration year in Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, started her first job as a resident pharmacist at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital. Three years later following a gap year travelling she took on the role of paediatric pharmacist at UCH, London before specialising in paediatric oncology, completing an MSc and various research projects in the field. In 2010 she relocated with her family to the South Coast and took up a lead role, managing clinical pharmacy staff across specialities including Women's and Children's, Head and Neck, Musculoskeletal, Surgery, ITU and theatres. More recently she has undertaken a PGC in Prescribing and Therapeutics at Portsmouth University to qualify as a prescribing pharmacist.Federico Dajas-Bailador is a pharmacologist and neuroscientist with expertise in the mechanisms that control neuron development and connectivity. After obtaining his BSc at the Universidad de la Republica, in Uruguay, Federico moved to the UK to undertake his PhD at the University of Bath and then to a postdoctoral position at the University of Manchester. In 2013, he was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham, where he formed the Axon Biology Lab at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. His work focuses on the cellular and molecular processes that take part in neuron development and function, including mechanisms controlling local protein translation by microRNAs. More recently, his research has also extended to the investigation of neuronal function in the context of chronic pain, investigating potential novel targets for pain treatment.

The book has a number of impactful illustrative figures covering a wide range of topics and they are excellent ... the text itself, is well written and easy to understand and there is plenty of it ... I enjoyed reviewing this book and certainly learnt new and important information.
