Molecular Diagnostics
Show: UAB Med Cast
Molecular diagnostics teams help physicians implement precision medicine that results in better outcomes for patients with a variety of conditions. Craig Mackinnon, M.D., director of the Division of Genomics Diagnostics and Bioinformatics, discusses how molecular pathologists work hand-in-hand with oncologists and pathologists to develop treatment strategies from patients’ molecular profiles (i.e., identifying meaningful mutations). Learn how in-house molecular diagnostics labs allow institutions to deliver care more efficiently.
