VIRTUAL 2022 UPDATE COURSE

 COURSE DESCRIPTION

Molecular diagnostics has become one of the dominant platforms in clinical laboratory Medicine. In recent years, the advent of molecular methods has revolutionized the evaluation of patients with presumed infectious diseases. Molecular diagnostics, molecular targeted therapy, and genetic therapy are now routine in many medical centers. The molecular field now impacts every field in medicine, whether clinical research or routine patient care.
