Synopsis

This book presents a focused and timely exploration of genome editing and its transformativeimpact on modern medicine. Integrating interdisciplinary perspectives, the volume examines howemerging genetic technologies are reshaping the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of complexdiseases.The book outlines the molecular foundations of key genome-editing tools, including CRISPRCas9,TALENs, and zinc-finger nucleases, explaining their mechanisms and expanding role inbiomedical research. It then moves to practical applications, highlighting case studies in areassuch as cancer treatment and precision medicine, demonstrating how gene-editing technologiesare improving patient outcomes.Beyond technical advances, the volume addresses critical ethical, legal, and regulatoryconsiderations, including biosafety, intellectual property, and human rights. By examining bothopportunities and challenges, it emphasizes the need for responsible and well-regulatedimplementation of genetic technologies.Bringing together current research and applied insights, this volume offers a clear and balancedperspective on the evolving role of genome editing in advancing healthcare worldwide.
