Precision Medicine

This book serves to introduce the technologies and applications of precision medicine. Beginning with a section on emerging experimental and bioinformatics technologies, the collection continues with chapters covering cancer studies, cardiovascular diseases, COPD and systemic lupus erythematosus, as well as the latest engineering and surgical developments in precision medicine. As a volume in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, this book presents key information from experts in the field.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Precision Medicine covers perspectives of precision medicine from basic research to clinical surgeries, from cancer to cardiovascular disease, from sequencing technology to big data analysis in the hope of broadening the horizons for researchers, engineers, and clinicians and accelerating the interdisciplinary precision medicine research and applications.

Includes cutting-edge techniques and applications Provides details to aid researchers in the lab and clinic Contains expert coverage of the subject area
