ABSTRACT

In Chapter 6, we first provide a summary of the state of knowledge concerning the problem of race-based medicine, precision medicine and the phenomenon of the “molecular reinscription of race.” Then, we elaborate on the new insights contained in the book, as well as the implications of our findings and arguments. In addition, we address the following questions, “how might our study affect research, practice or policy?” “What should different stakeholders take away from this book?” “What are the theoretical and empirical contributions of this book?” “What are the tensions with the usage of race/ethnicity in genomic science with medical and public health implications?” “What are some of the limitations of our study?” “What are some possible future research projects based on this book?”
