However, integration of these techniques into epidemiologic studies also poses new challenges in the design, conduct, and analysis. This book presents the key points of consideration when integrating molecular biology and epidemiology; discusses how using molecular tools in epidemiologic research affects program design and conduct; considers the ethical concerns that arise in molecular epidemiologic studies; and provides a context for understanding and interpreting scientific literature as a foundation for subsequent practical experience in the laboratory and in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is recommended for graduate and advanced undergraduate students studying infectious disease epidemiology and molecular epidemiology; and for the epidemiologist wishing to integrate molecular techniques into his or her studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents the key points of consideration when integrating molecular biology and epidemiology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses how using molecular tools in epidemiologic research affects program design and conduct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsiders the ethical concerns that arise in molecular epidemiologic studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides a context for understanding and interpreting scientific literature as a foundation for subsequent practical experience in the laboratory and in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119334506736,"sku":"9780080920849","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080920849_p0.jpg?v=1763638400","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080920849","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
