Masood N. Khan, PhD, received his PhD from Aligarh Muslim University, India, and did postdoctoral research at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, in immunology and cell biology. He subsequently moved to McGill University, Montreal, Canada, and served as assistant professor in the Department of Medicine. In 1988, he established and successfully directed the Ligand-Binding Assay Bioanalytical (LBAB) Department at Phoenix International Life Sciences (currently MDS Life Sciences), Montreal. Dr. Khan is a founding member of the LBAB Focus Group at AAPS and has coauthored authoritative reviews on validation of LBA and biomarker assays. He has over 100 publications and presentations to his credit. He is currently the Chief Scientist at GLP Solutions Inc. in Rockville, Maryland. John W. A. Findlay, PhD, earned his PhD from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, and did postdoctoral work in organic and medicinal chemistry at the University of Virginia. He has extensive experience in successful drug development with several major pharmaceutical companies, particularly in the areas of bioanalysis and drug disposition. Dr. Findlay was a participant in the first AAPS/FDA workshop on bioanalytical method validation in 1990 and in subsequent AAPS/FDA workshops on this topic, as well as a coauthor of a guiding review article in this field published in 2000. Dr. Findlay has coauthored more than 140 original papers, reviews, book chapters, patents, and abstracts. He is currently a Senior Director in Clinical Pharmacology at Gilead Sciences in Durham, North Carolina.
"Ligand-Binding Assays, written by recognized and respected industry experts, covers a wide range of topics that provide valuable information to someone who is new to the field." ( News & Analysis, 2011) "Ligand-Binding Assays, edited by Masood Kahn and John Findlay offers a comprehensive, in depth description of all aspects of the subject. The editors are directly involved in the ligand-binding assay field and individual chapters are written by experts with a thorough understanding of the specific topics. The book is easy to read, clear and well illustrated. The emphasis is on biologicals rather than small molecules and this reflects the current application of many of the procedures covered. There is a good overview of assay validation, and this book is highly recommended for those with an interest in the topic." Robin Thorpe, PhD FRCPath, National Institute for Biological Standards and Control "This book is a collection of valuable articles describing these assays in some detail, both from a historical perspective ..., but also regarding the new developments in the field, such as new technologies to support drug development ... and pharmacokinetic research." (ChemMedChem, July 2010)
