This book attempts to contribute to this growing body of literature by tracing and analyzing "personalized medicine" as it unfolds in Asia, and in so doing, illustrating various social forces shaping the "co-production" of science and social order in transnational settings. The book shows that there are inextricable transnational linkages between developing and developed countries and also provides a theoretically guided and empirically grounded understanding of the formation and usage of particular human taxonomies in transnational settings"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in the sociology of health and illness. 606 $aPrecision medicine$xSocial aspects$zAsia 606 $aPrecision medicine$xEconomic aspects$zAsia 606 $aSocial medicine$zAsia 606 $aMedical economics$zAsia 615 0$aPrecision medicine$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPrecision medicine$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aSocial medicine 615 0$aMedical economics 676 $a362.1095 700 $aSun$b Shirley Hsiao-Li.$01644606 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831882803321 996 $aSocio-economics of personalized medicine in Asia$94129913 997 $aUNINA
