Handbook of Personalized Medicine: Advances in Nanotechnology, Drug Delivery, and Therapy

This book compiles multidisciplinary efforts to conceptualize the environment in research and clinical settings that create the fertile ground for the practical utility of personalized medicine decisions and also enables clinical pharmacogenomics to establish pharmacotyping in drug prescription. It covers innovative drug formulations and nanotheranostics, molecular imaging and signatures, translational nanomedicine and informatics, stem cell therapy approaches, modeling and predictability of drug response, pharmacogenetics-guided drug prescription, pediatric drug dosing, pharmacovigilance and regulatory aspects, ethical and cost-effectiveness issues, pharmacogenomics knowledge bases, personal genome sequencing, molecular diagnostics, as well as information-based medicine.
