Public health genomics

by Claudia N. Mikail

"This book is beautifully written for health professionals and students in the fields of public health, medicine, and genetics. Because of Dr. Mikail's ability to explain complex concepts clearly, it also effectively educates the community-at-large about core principles in genomics, increasing awareness in patients, families, and nonprofessionals alike." Samuel Rahbar, MD, PhD, professor, Department of Diabetes and Endocrinology, City of Hope National Medical Center. Book cover. "Centered around CDC genomics competencies for public health professionals, Dr. Mikail's book provides a solid background in the core scientific and social issues surrounding public health genomics. As we strive to apply our understanding of genetics toward developing more effective disease prediction and prevention strategies for individuals and populations, students and practitioners will find this text an increasingly valuable resource in daily practice."
