The contributions by the leaders in the field of drug transport to the 1st and the 2nd editions of Drug Transporters have helped to secure a special role for this book in the education of students, fellows, and industrial practitioners in the phar-maceutical and biomedical sciences. The 2nd edition was published 8 years ago. Since then, there has been significant advances in the field including in- depth understanding of membrane transporters in pediatric pharmacotherapy, new insights into the impact of these transporters on drug efficacy/ safety, development of more sophisticated model systems and sensitive assay methods for studying drug transport in vitro and in vivo, and knowledge of transporters as drug targets for diseases. Therefore, it has become clear that a 3rd edition that serves to capture current advances in the field is both timely and necessary.
