Applied Genomics and Public Health examines the interdisciplinary and growing area of how evidence-based genomic knowledge can be applied to public health, population health, healthcare, and health policies. This is the first book dedicated to the task of public health genomics, gathering experts from a variety of disciplines including life sciences (biology, public health, genetics), social sciences (law, sociology, political science), and health care (medicine, nursing, public health) to develop a comprehensive overview of the field. As well as providing background and history of the topic, Applied Genomics and Public Health delves specifically into subjects such as pharmacogenomics, genethics, big data and data translation and analysis, economic evaluation, genomic awareness and education, sociology, pricing and reimbursement, policy measures and economic evaluation in genomic medicine. This book is essential reading for researchers and students exploring applications of genomics to population and public health and for those biomedical sciences, medical sociologists, healthcare professionals, nurses, regulatory bodies, and health economists interested in learning more about this growing field.
