Epigenetic Biomarkers and Diagnostics Summary

Epigenetic Biomarkers and Diagnostics by Jose Luis Garcia-Gimenez (CIBER Enfermedades Raras, Centre for Biomedical Research on Rare Diseases, University of Valencia, Spain)

Epigenetic Biomarkers and Diagnostics comprises 31 chapters contributed by leading active researchers in basic and clinical epigenetics. The book begins with the basis of epigenetic mechanisms and descriptions of epigenetic biomarkers that can be used in clinical diagnostics and prognostics. It goes on to discuss classical methods and next generation sequencing-based technologies to discover and analyze epigenetic biomarkers. The book concludes with an account of DNA methylation, post-translational modifications and noncoding RNAs as the most promising biomarkers for cancer (i.e. breast, lung, colon, etc.), metabolic disorders (i.e. diabetes and obesity), autoimmune diseases, infertility, allergy, infectious diseases, and neurological disorders. The book describes the challenging aspects of research in epigenetics, and current findings regarding new epigenetic elements and modifiers, providing guidance for researchers interested in the most advanced technologies and tested biomarkers to be used in the clinical diagnosis or prognosis of disease.

About Jose Luis Garcia-Gimenez (CIBER Enfermedades Raras, Centre for Biomedical Research on Rare Diseases, University of Valencia, Spain)

Dr. Garcia-Gimenez is a Senior Researcher at the Consortium Center for Biomedical Network Research, the Spanish Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCIII), and the INCLIVA Biomedical Research Institute, in the Dept. of Physiology at the Medicine and Dentistry School at the University of Valencia, Spain. Dr. Garcia-Gimenez is founder and CEO of EpiDisease S.L. (Spin-Off of CIBER-ISCIII), which develops the technology based on the patent EP15382319.0, currently in national phases (USTPO, EPO, CIPO and SIPO). EpiDisease received NEOTEC funds from CDTI and the Seal of Excellence from the European Commission in the SME Instrument Phase II H2020. Dr. Garcia-Gimenez has received 7 scientific and entrepreneurship national and international awards, including the National Award for Young Entrepreneurs in 2013 (awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Health) and the European Young Researcher from the Free Radical Research Society in 2009 and more recently the Eureka Innovation and Entrepreneurship Award in Melbourne (Australia). Dr. Garcia-Gimenez is a researcher at the University of Valencia. He is early in his career, but has been noticed as an up-and-coming authority in epigenetic biomarker research as it relates to disease, stress, and exercise.
