Population Genomics in the Developing World 1st Edition

Capture a vital shift in global health with Population Genomics in the Developing World, 1st Edition by George P. Patrinos, Marlo Möller, and Caitlin Uren — a rigorous, contemporary guide that brings genomics to the frontlines of public health and policy.

This authoritative volume explains how population genomics informs disease surveillance, precision medicine, and public-health interventions across low- and middle-income regions. Clear chapters cover genomic diversity, population structure, sampling strategies, bioinformatics, ethical and legal considerations, and case studies from Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Practical analysis of infectious-disease genomic surveillance, pharmacogenomics, and the genetics of non-communicable diseases demonstrates applications tailored to resource-limited settings.

Designed for researchers, public-health professionals, clinicians, policy makers, and graduate students, this book bridges technical depth with real-world relevance. You’ll find balanced discussion of laboratory methods, computational pipelines, data sharing policies, capacity-building strategies, and community engagement — all contextualized for the socio-economic and regulatory landscapes of developing countries.

Whether you’re leading a genomic surveillance program in Nairobi, advising policy in New Delhi, or training students in São Paulo, this edition equips you with the frameworks and tools to translate genomic data into actionable health outcomes. Its interdisciplinary perspective supports collaborative projects across epidemiology, molecular biology, and health policy.

Add Population Genomics in the Developing World to your professional library to stay at the cutting edge of global genomic medicine. A practical, regionally aware resource, it’s essential reading for anyone working at the intersection of genomics and global health.
