Association for Molecular Pathology 2007 Annual Meeting
November 7-10, 2007, The Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel, Los Angeles, CA
 
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.
