Genomics, Populations, and Society - Genomic and Precision Medicine in Clinical Practice

Genomics, Populations, and Society, a new volume in the Genomic and Precision Medicine in Clinical Practice series, considers the vast and thorny web of ELSI topics in genomics, from bioethics to healthcare applications, healthcare economics, genomic data management, and population dynamics, broken out across five sections with contributions from international experts in their respective fields. Emphasis is placed on the impact of rapid genomic advances on ethical, socio-cultural, and lifestyle dimensions. Healthcare and health economics topics include genomics and digital health, genome editing, and genomics and infectious disease management. Legal issues related to data ownership, equity, access, probity, consent, confidentiality, are also discussed in-depth, along socio-cultural topics such as community engagement, consanguinity, genomic literacy and continued learning, and psychosocial?aspects of biobanking. Here, a range of readers from researchers to clinicians, policy administrators, lawyers, economists, and social scientists will discover carefully crafted, synthesized discussion of ELSI topics in genomics to power new scientific advances and genomic medicine implementation.
