Genomics, Populations, and Society

Genomics, Populations, and Society, 1st Edition, edited by Dhavendra Kumar and Ruth Chadwick and published by Academic Press, examines the ethical, legal, and social implications of modern human genetics. Designed for researchers, clinicians, policy administrators, lawyers, economists, and social scientists, this volume clarifies how population genomics informs governance and institutional decision-making.

The content addresses core bioethics, genomic healthcare applications, healthcare economics, and genomic data management. It further examines practical health topics, detailing genome editing techniques, digital health implementations, and infectious disease management strategies across clinical and public health settings.

With more than twenty-four chapters distributed across five integrated sections, the publication delivers a multi-perspective examination of genetic policy. This organizational structure supports academic and professional readers who analyze how ethical standards and data management apply to broader population groups.
