Epidemiology: the study and analysis of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. It is the cornerstone of public health, and shapes policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive healthcare. Epidemiologists help with study design, collection, and statistical analysis of data, amend interpretation and dissemination of results.
This lecture introduces the evolving paradigm of Molecular Pathological Epidemiology (MPE) as simply as possible. Any given human disease represents fundamentally heterogeneous process,...
