Biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern healthcare‎,‎ from cancer screening to diagnosing HIV‎,‎ from blood transfusion for surgery to food poisoning and infection control‎.‎ Without biomedical scientists‎,‎ the diagnosis of disease‎,‎ the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment‎,‎ and research into the causes and cures of disease would not be possible‎.‎ The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series has been written to reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical science today‎.‎ It draws together essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled to the analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis‎.‎ Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge‎,‎ the series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a Biomedical Scientist may be exposed ‎- from microbiology to cytopathology to transfusion science‎.‎ Clinical Biochemistry provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the biochemical basis of disease processes‎,‎ and how these diseases can be investigated in the biomedical laboratory‎.‎New clinical case studies have been added to the second edition‎,‎ to further emphasize the link between theory and practice and help engage students with the subject‎.‎
