"Applied Statistical Genetics", By Dr. Andrea Foulkes
(Springer 2009)

Applied Statistical Genetics (Springer, 2009) is an introductory graduate level text in which Dr. Foulkes elucidates core concepts for the analysis of data arising from population-based genetic  association studies.  These studies  present an exciting opportunity to  uncover the genetic underpinnings  of complex diseases, such as  cardiovascular disease and cancer,  while discovering novel biological  pathways to disease progression.   This book provides students and  researchers with key genetic  concepts and statistical principles  that undergird the rapidly  developing field of genomics and  public health.

 

Dr. Andrea Foulkes is an Associate Professor in the Biostatistics Division of the Department of Public Health in the School of Public Health and Health Sciences.
