Handbook of Translational Transcriptomics: Research, Protocols and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the field of transcriptomics. With an emphasis on the various protocols and techniques available for investigation, it acts as a practical guide to researchers for implementing their own investigations in the field.
This book begins with an overview of the past, present, and potential approaches in the field of transcriptomics, with discussions of choosing the correct approach based on the research needed. It also highlights the pros and cons of each approach. Following this, it explores techniques and protocols for investigating specific approaches focusing on RNA sequencing, expression arrays, and gene expression. It then delves into data analysis and offers recommendations, guidelines, and approaches related to data interpretation. This book also considers the translation of transcriptomics to clinical use and applications in molecular diagnostics, biomarkers in medicine, and personalized medicine specific to oncology, as well as biotechnology for pharmaceutical research.
Handbook of Translational Transcriptomics: Research, Protocols and Applications is a detailed reference that provides a complete view of transcriptomics, ranging from methods to handling data and medical applications. This book is an invaluable guide for researchers working across molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics and related fields, as well as graduate and PhD students in these areas.

Anton Buzdin is professor and head of laboratories at Sechenov First Moscow Medical University, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry. He was elected as the chair of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics subgroup, Pathobiology Group of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC). Professor Buzdin is cofounder and chief scientific officer of Oncobox, which is a translational oncology company. He has authored more than 170 scientific papers and patent applications, and has worked as chief executive of several biotechnological and biomedical companies in Russia, Hong Kong and in the United States. He has also chaired two clinical trials of transcriptomics-based diagnostic tools in oncology. Professor Buzdin’s team pioneered bioinformatic quantitative analysis of molecular pathways using gene expression data and developed specialized algorithms and software packages to personalize prescription of targeted immunotherapy and chemotherapy drugs to cancer patients that were clinically validated and commercialized.
