Molecular Diagnostics

Molecular diagnostics is a rapidly changing and innovative area of diagnostics that is providing new information about many diseases and leading to improvements in healthcare. Molecular diagnostics is the process of using molecular biology techniques to analyze proteins and DNA in the human body. This information helps us understand how individual genetic code is expressed in cells, which is vital to the management of personalized medicine.
