Preface
The idea for this book was born during the symposium on biologics organized by
ZAFES (Center for Drug Research, Development and Safety at the University of
Frankfurt amMain) in September 2005. Highly distinguished researchers specializ-
ing in the field of biologics had gathered together to exchange information on this
relatively new subject. Realizing that this symposium was one of the few sources of
condensed information on biologics, it became obvious that we had to create a
means of informing an interested wider circle of scientists and especially general cli-
nicians.
Therefore, the editors of this book suggested to the researchers at the symposium
andalsotoprominentscientistsandcliniciansinvolvedinthedevelopmentand
application of biologics as their major field of interest the idea of assembling this
compendium. We received an overwhelmingly positive response – thankfully also
from the publisher – most being more than willing to support this innovative project
with highly relevant chapters on the latest state of the art. As we were eager to fill the
information gap with up-to-date knowledge, the project had to be finished within
the shortest time possible. To all experienced with editing this was obviously a chal-
lengeandweareverythankfultoallthecontributorsthatourtimelinehadtobe
extended by only a few months. This book represents a collection of the most recent
knowledge on biologics written by people who have been active in the field for many
years.
