Application of Clinical Bioinformatics

This bookelucidates how genetic, biological and medical information can be applied tothe development of personalized healthcare, medication and therapies. Focusingon aspects of the development of evidence-based approaches in bioinformaticsand computational medicine, including data integration, methodologies, toolsand models for clinical and translational medicine, it offers an essentialintroduction to clinical bioinformatics for clinical researchers andphysicians, medical students and teachers, and scientists working with human disease-based omics and bioinformatics.
