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. |
