Full Description
Comprehensive overview of the various diagnosis techniques employed in disease detection and public health crisis management
Diagnostic Techniques in Public Health delivers an exploration into the specific role of the advanced chemometric techniques and modern diagnostic tools in deciphering complex datasets pertinent to global health crises. The book provides a systematic investigation into seven of the major international public health emergencies as defined by the World Health Organization such as COVID-19 and Monkeypox.
The book brings together a series of meticulously curated chapters that bridge the fields of molecular biology, analytical chemistry, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, and informatics to address one central question: how can diagnostic science evolve to meet the demands of a dynamic and interconnected world?
Each chapter situates its scientific discussion within the broader context of public health preparedness, emphasizing point-of-care deployment, low-resource adaptability, regulatory considerations, and ethical dimensions. Moreover, the interplay between core diagnostic principles and enabling technologies—such as artificial intelligence, smartphone-based data acquisition, and digital epidemiology—is carefully woven throughout the text, underscoring the systemic integration required for next-generation diagnostic infrastructures.
Diagnostic Techniques in Public Health provides in-depth coverage of sample topics including:
Molecular diagnostic technologies, from classical polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to next-generation isothermal amplification methods
Relevance of ELISA-based immunoassays and genomic sequencing as a cornerstone of pathogen surveillance
Transformative technologies such as CRISPR-based diagnostics and microfluidic systems, which achieve unparalleled levels of automation, multiplexing, and reagent economy
Plasmonic biosensors and flexible bioelectronics, where the convergence of material science and biomedical instrumentation opens entirely new vistas for non-invasive, continuous, and personalized health monitoring
Bridging the gap between intricate analytical methodologies and the dynamic world of public health emergencies, Diagnostic Techniques in Public Health is an essential resource for analytical, medicinal, and pharmaceutical chemists, molecular biologists, and public officials.
