Description

Precision Medicine for Investigators, Practitioners and Providers addresses the needs of investigators by covering the topic as an umbrella concept, from new drug trials to wearable diagnostic devices, and from pediatrics to psychiatry in a manner that is up-to-date and authoritative. Sections include broad coverage of concerning disease groups and ancillary information about techniques, resources and consequences. Moreover, each chapter follows a structured blueprint, so that multiple, essential items are not overlooked. Instead of simply concentrating on a limited number of extensive and pedantic coverages, scholarly diagrams are also included.

Key features

  • Provides a three-pronged approach to precision medicine that is focused on investigators, practitioners and healthcare providers
  • Covers disease groups and ancillary information about techniques, resources and consequences
  • Follows a structured blueprint, ensuring essential chapters items are not overlooked

Readership

Academics in medicine, nursing, nutrition, genetics, pharmacogenomics, biomedical engineering, biostatistics, community medicine and public health, emphasizing not only cancer but also non-oncological illnesses; Research laboratory teams, health care providers, and general practitioners
