Rezensionen

"A tour de force - Kristin brings Precision Medicine into focus with clear and practical commentary. Personalizing Precision Medicine is exactly what healthcare establishment needs now - how to make it real and cost effective." - Mara Aspinall, President and CEO, Health Catalysts, Co-Founder, Arizona State University School of Biomedical Diagnostics

"As a surgeon, I find the importance of precision surgery to be obvious, but describing precision medicine has been a challenge - until now! Kristin explains it all, from the basic science to compelling, personal stories that make the science come to life. It helps us examine precision medicine from all angles and helps us as physicians explain it comprehensively to others." - Tenley Albright, Director of the MIT Collaborative Initiatives, former surgeon, and World and Olympic Champion figure skater

"As a young patient with breast cancer, it was overwhelming to research every aspect of my care to make sure it was personalized for me. This book, Personalizing Precision Medicine, should be one of the very first tools to educate people like me, and those professionals who supported me. The facts, mixed with personal stories from all around the world, were something I wish I'd had when I was first diagnosed." - Liz Lord, Breast cancer slayer, former US diplomat and owner of ArlVa Homes LLC
