Comprehensive Precision Medicine - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Ramos is a physician-scientist with interests in molecular and precision medicine, particularly as it relates to vascular pathology, oncology and chronic diseases of the lung. His translational research program integrates diverse approaches ranging from molecular genetics to population-based studies to elucidate genomic mechanisms of pathogenesis and to develop novel approaches and therapies to minimize chronic disease. Ongoing translational studies in his laboratory focus on the study of repetitive genetic elements in the mammalian genome and their role in genome plasticity, toxicity and disease, while clinical studies focus on the development and characterization of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of cancer and chronic pulmonary disease to advance the goals of personalized genomic medicine. He is deeply committed to initiatives that advance precision medicine and its applications to reduce disease burden and health disparities, improve quality of healthcare and reduce costs.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

recision medicine has emerged as a healthcare delivery platform focused on the personalization of healthcare through the integration of novel molecular and digital technologies and approaches with behavioral, environmental and social determinants of health. A major driver to this transformation has been the sobering reality that healthcare, as we recognize it today, is not sustainable in the long term without concerted strategies to improve diagnostic accuracy and precision, develop targeted therapies and interventions that improve efficacy and decrease toxicity and stratify populations into subpopulations that share common susceptibilities or responses.

Comprehensive Precision Medicine has been designed to holistically integrate essential and interconnecting disciplines that contribute to the make-up of Precision Medicine as we know it today. Encompassing between 120 and 140 contributions by eminent scholars and professionals, contents are organized across 3 volumes and 7 major subject areas, each representing a key pillar driving the evolution and progression of healthcare delivery:

• ‘Omics Technologies in Precision Medicine
• Artificial Intelligence, Biomedical Informatics and Computational Biology in Precision Medicine
• Digital Health in Precision Medicine
• Behavioral, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health
• Clinical Applications in Precision Medicine
• Ethical Considerations in Precision Medicine
• Precision Prevention

Each contribution provides a clearly laid out, detailed and in-depth overview of the topic covered and is complemented by an extensive reference list which facilitates navigation of primary literature and further research.

Precision medicine approaches will transform the training and practice of all aspects of professional healthcare delivery including medicine, nursing, pharmacy, psychology, rehabilitation, and social work. This will be a fundamental reference resource for students, post-graduate trainees, researchers, scientists and clinicians interested in precision medicine. Additionally, this resource will be of interest to regulators, policy makers, and public health practitioners across the globe.
