Pharmacogenomics: Challenges and Opportunities in Therapeutic Implementation, Second Edition,
provides comprehensive coverage of the challenges and opportunities
facing the therapeutic implications of pharmacogenomics from academic,
regulatory, pharmaceutical, socio-ethical and economic perspectives.
While emphasis is on the limitations in moving the science into drug
development and direct therapeutic applications, this book also focuses
on clinical areas with successful applications and important initiatives
that have the ability to further advance the discipline. New chapters
cover important topics such as pharmacogenomic data technologies,
clinical testing strategies, cost-effectiveness, and pharmacogenomic
education and practice guidelines. The importance of ethnicity is also
discussed, which highlights phar,acogenomic diversity across Latin
American populations.
With chapters written by interdisciplinary
experts and insights into the future direction of the field, this book
is an indispensable resource for academic and industry scientists,
graduate students and clinicians engaged in pharmacogenomics research
and therapeutic implementation.
