Description
This two-volume set provides an in-depth look at one of the most promising avenues
for advances in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of human disease. The
inclusion of the latest information on diagnostic testing, population screening,
predicting disease susceptibility, pharmacogenomics and more presents this book
as an essential tool for both students and specialists across many biological
and medical disciplines, including human genetics and genomics, oncology, neuroscience,
cardiology, infectious disease, molecular medicine, and biomedical science,
as well as health policy disciplines focusing on ethical, legal, regulatory
and economic aspects of genomics and medicine.
Key Features
- Contributions from leaders in the field provide unparalleled insight into current technologies and applications in clinical medicine.
- Full colour throughout enhances the utility of this work as the only available comprehensive reference for genomic and personalized medicine.
- Discusses scientific foundations and practical applications of new discoveries, as well as ethical, legal/regulatory, and social issues related to the practice of genomic medicine.
Volume One Includes:
Principles, Methodology and Translational Approaches, takes readers on the journey from principles of human genomics to technology, informatic and computational platforms for genomic medicine, as well as strategies for translating genomic discoveries into advances in personalized clinical care.
Volume Two Includes:
Genome Discoveries and Clinical Applications presents the latest developments in disease-based genomic and personalized medicine. With chapters dedicated to cardiovascular disease, oncology, inflammatory disease, metabolic disease, neuropsychiatric disease, and infectious disease, this work provides the most comprehensive guide to the principles and practice of genomic and personalized medicine.
Readership: Specialists across medical disciplines, research professionals in human genetics/genomics, oncology, neuroscience, gene therapy, molecular medicine, and related areas. It will be indispensable to medical students and graduate students in genetics and biomedical sciences.
Quotes
"With chapters from many of the world's leading authorities, this book
from Duke's Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy gives us a remarkably
comprehensive and thorough introduction to the field of personalized medicine.
Anyone who will participate in this transformation of medicine -- from students
to practicing physicians to scientists at the forefront of genetics and genomics
to business executives and CEOs -- will find these volumes a great resource."
G. Steven Burrill CEO, Burrill & Company San Francisco, CA "With genetic
discoveries being published weekly, and increasing efforts to translate genomics
to the clinic, there is a pressing need to educate medical students, physicians
ad policy-makers on the emerging discipline of genomic medicine. This valuable
book is first of its kind, offering a comprehensive overview of the field's
foundations, applications to each area of medicine, and translation into clinical
medicine and policy." David Altshuler MD, PhD, Professor of Genetics and
Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital "This
extraordinary text contains the foundation of knowledge which will allow a completely
new era in medicine to bloom. A must-read for every practitioner - from primary
care physician to subspecialist - so as to optimally practice their art. This
is the comprehensive user's manual for the genome in the clinical setting."
