This groundbreaking work, now available in paperback, has helped to shape the emerging discipline of molecular epidemiology. Molecular Epidemiology has proven useful to epidemiologists unfamiliar with the terminology and techniques of molecular biology as well as to the molecular biologist working to understand the determinants of human disease and to use that information to control disease. This book demonstrates how molecular epidemiology utilizes the same paradigm as traditional epidemiology in addition to using biological markers to identify exposure, disease, or susceptibility.

It assists traditional epidemiologists in reducing misclassification, understanding mechanisms, and identifying risks to individuals and groups.
Molecular Epidemiology is a compendium of the principles for and practice of Molecular epidemiology. Focusing on methods for using biological markers in epidemiological research, this book explores markers relevant to a broad range of organ and disease systems research.
