Genomic and Precision Medicine: Foundations, Translation, and Implementation highlights the various points along the continuum from health to disease where genomic information is impacting clinical decision-making and leading to more personalization of health care.

The book pinpoints the challenges, barriers, and solutions that have been, or are being, brought forward to enable translation of genome based technologies into health care. A variety of infrastructure (data systems and EMRs), policy (regulatory, reimbursement, privacy), and research (comparative effectiveness research, learning health system approaches) strategies are also discussed. Readers will find this volume to be an invaluable resource for the translational genomics and implementation science that is required to fully realize personalized health care.

Zielgruppe

Medical students, life sciences and engineering graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, residents and fellows working with any aspect of genomic research in the life sciences and/or medicine, educators, and translational scientists. This volume will also be of interest to translational researchers, implementation scientists, outcomes researchers, policy analysts and policy makers
