Biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern healthcare, from
cancer screening to diagnosing HIV, from blood transfusion for surgery
to food poisoning and infection control. Without biomedical scientists,
the diagnosis of disease, the evaluation of the effectiveness of
treatment, and research into the causes and cures of disease would not
be possible.
The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series has been written to
reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical science today. It draws
together essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice
to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled to the
analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis.
Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge, the series reviews the full
range of disciplines to which a Biomedical Scientist may be exposed -
from microbiology to cytopathology to transfusion science.
Data Handling and Analysis is the most relevant and useful statistics
and data analysis text for biomedical science students. Providing a
broad review of the quantitative skills needed to be an effective
biomedical scientist, the text spans the collection, presentation, and
analysis of data. It draws on relevant examples throughout, creating an
ideal introduction to the subject for any student of biomedical
science.
