Molecular Diagnostics Applications in
Pathology:
A Case-Oriented Approach
Presented by the AMP Training &
Education Committee
November 7, 2007,
InterContinental Hotel, Los Angeles, CA
New models of
medical practice are evolving with increasing attention to the molecular
pathology of diseases. The introduction of molecular testing into the
clinical laboratories has resulted in our ability to provide novel
types of information to health care providers. This course will provide
practical applications of current developments through actual case studies
covering the four major clinical molecular pathology disciplines: solid
tumors, hematopathology, infectious diseases, and inherited diseases. The
speakers of each session will highlight how molecular testing impacts
disease management.
Participants will learn more about molecular diagnostic
instrumentation and techniques including: gene sequencing, in situ
hybridization (ISH and FISH), microsatellite instability analysis, nucleic
acid extraction and purification, and PCR. The lectures will be reinforced by a
syllabus specifically designed to complement the material covered.
Who Should Attend?
Pathologists, laboratory directors and technologists who have little
experience with molecular diagnostic testing.
