Reihe: Fundamentals of Biomedical Science

The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series has been written to reflect the challenges of practising biomedical science today. It draws together essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled to the analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis. Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge, the series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a biomedical scientist may be exposed, from microbiology to cytopathology to transfusion science.

Medical Genetics and Genomics blends together theory and practice to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject of medical genetics and genomics, from basic to in-depth principles.

BLWritten in an accessible, engaging, and student-focused way that encourages proactive learning of basic to advanced concepts in medical genetics and genomics.

BLBalancing core biology and clinical relevance, this title offers up-to-date coverage of key areas and recent developments in medical genetics and genomics.

BLAlso available as an e-book with functionality, navigation features, and links that offer extra learning support.

Über Autor(innen)

Professor Emanuela Volpi graduated in Biological Sciences at the University of Rome 'La Sapienza' and holds a PhD in Evolutionary Biology. She worked as a post-doctoral research fellow at Cancer Research UK in London and was subsequently appointed as a staff scientist by the National Research Council in Italy. Before joining the University of Westminster in 2013 as a reader in Biomedical Science, she was head of the Molecular Cytogenetics and Microscopy Core of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics in the Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Oxford. Her primary research and teaching expertise is in human and medical genetics. She is a member of the British Society for Genetic Medicine and the European Cytogeneticists Association and the Genetics Society, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology and the Higher Education Academy.

Dr Lorna Tinworth graduated in Molecular Biology and Genetics at Queen Mary's, London, and undertook her PhD at King's College. It was in a post-doctoral role with the Cardiovascular Genetics research team at St George's Hospital, whilst teaching medical students, that Dr. Tinworth discovered her passion and talent for sharing bioscience knowledge. In 2010 she accepted a position at the University of Westminster where she continues to work as a senior lecturer in Molecular Biology. She holds an MA in Higher Education and is a Senior Fellow of Advance HE.
