In order to advance clinical adoption of the recently developed epigenetic approaches, it is necessary for translational scientists, clinicians, and students to gain a better understanding about epigenetic mechanisms that are associated with a particular disorder; and to be able to effectively identify biomarkers that can be applied in drug development and for better diagnosis and prognosis of diseases.
Prognostic Epigenetics
is the most-inclusive volume to-date specifically dedicated to epigenetic markers that have been developed for prognosis of diseases, recent advances in this field, the clinical implementation of this research, and the future outlook.- Compiles all known information on prognostic epigenetics and its role in preventive medicine and drug discovery
- Covers the basic functionality of epigenetic mechanisms involved in early disease prognosis and diagnosis, and provides tools for the identification and development of these biomarkers for a wide range of diseases
- Enables clinicians, researchers, and pharmacologists to improve preventive medicine and precision therapeutics throughout a person’s lifetime
- Features chapter contributions from leading international researchers
Translational researchers, clinicians and graduate students in genomic medicine, epigenetics, endocrinology, nutrition, oncology, pathology, and biotechnology; life science researchers; developmental biologists; MDs/clinicians, medical students and residents; pharmacologists in industry and academia; primary care doctors, medical chemists, molecular biologists, genetic counselors
