Comprehensive Precision Medicine

Comprehensive Precision Medicine holistically integrates essential and interconnecting disciplines that contribute to the make-up of Precision Medicine as we know it today. Encompassing almost 90 contributions from eminent scholars and professionals, the book's contents are organized across 3 volumes and 7 major subject areas, each representing a key pillar driving the evolution and progression of healthcare delivery. 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.

• Provides comprehensive coverage and is basically a ‘one-stop’ resource across all disciplines contributing to precision medicine
• Authoritative guide edited by distinguished authorities who are shaping the advancement of precision medicine
• Thematically organized, allowing for easy exploration across interconnecting disciplines
• Digitally innovative resource with multimedia features that complement the text and provide additional learning and teaching resources

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.
