Description
This book takes an in-depth look at the current status and future direction of treatment predictive markers in personalized medicine for the brain, from the perspectives of the researchers and those involved in healthcare implementation. The contents provide a comprehensive text suitable as both an introduction to, and a clear summary of, the ‘science to solutions’ continuum in this developing field. Dr. Stephen H. Koslow has been an innovator and creative leader in the fields of psychopharmacology, neuroscience and informatics. He has joined efforts in all these fields by now helping to catalyze Personalized Medicine into a reality. He continues to run his own consulting company, and his efforts in Neuroinformatics, and special interest in the clinical areas of mental illness.

He is also the founding Director of the Brain Dynamic Centre (BDC), and heads BDC’s Integrative Neuroscience Program. He is also the CEO of Brain Resource, a publicly listed biotech Company, which developed out of BDC in 2001, and is now the industry affiliate of BDC. He is a pioneer of ‘intergrative neuroscience’ and has over 25 years in bringing together complementary human brain imaging technologies. With his experience he has established the first fully standardized international database on the human brain, under the auspices of Brain Resource.
