Comprehensive Precision Medicine holistically integrates essential
and interconnecting disciplines that contribute to the make-up of
Precision Medicine as we know it today. Encompassing almost 90
contributions from eminent scholars and professionals, the book's
contents are organized across 3 volumes and 7 major subject areas,
each representing a key pillar driving the evolution and
progression of healthcare delivery. Precision medicine approaches
will transform the training and practice of all aspects of
professional healthcare delivery, including medicine, nursing,
pharmacy, psychology, rehabilitation, and social work. This will be
a fundamental reference resource for students, post-graduate
trainees, researchers, scientists and clinicians interested in
precision medicine. Additionally, this resource will be of interest
to regulators, policy makers, and public health practitioners
across the globe.
Nonhuman primates represent a small fraction of animals used in
biomedical research, but they remain important research models due
to their similarities to humans with respect to genetic makeup,
anatomy, physiology, and behavior. Limitations in the availability
of nonhuman primates have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic
and recent restrictions on their exportation and transportation,
impacting National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded research
necessary for both public health and national security.
Additionally, there is continued interest in understanding whether
and how nonanimal models can be used to answer scientific questions
for which nonhuman primates are currently used. At the direction of
the U.S. Congress, NIH asked the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine to convene an expert committee to conduct
a landscape analysis of current and future use of nonhuman primates
in NIH-supported biomedical research, as well as opportunities for
new approach methodologies to complement or reduce reliance on
nonhuman primate models. This report provides the committee
findings and conclusions. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1
