The Age of Scientific Wellness: Why the Future of Medicine Is Personalized, Predictive, Data-Rich, and in Your Hands (Hood Leroy)(Pevná vazba)

Taking us to the cutting edge of the new field of scientific wellness, a visionary biotechnologist and pathbreaking researcher in systems-based personalized medicine show how we can optimize our health in ways that were previously unimaginable. We are on the cusp of a paradigm shift in health care. At the leading edge of this new frontier of medicine, major diseases are being challenged in fresh and unexpected ways. Using predictive technologies, applied immunotherapy, and genomically informed, target-focused disease prevention, scientists are working closely with patients to dramatically extend their "healthspan"--the number of healthy years before disease sets in. Leroy Hood, whose technological innovations made the sequencing of the human genome possible, and Nathan Price, whose work on systems biology is opening new pathways to Alzheimer's treatment and prevention,
