Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.Precision MedicinePrecision medicine refers to the idea of customized healthcare, where medical decisions and treatments are tailored to the individual patient. Molecular diagnostics, companion diagnostics and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) play a pivotal role in this approach.
OncologyThe branch of medical science that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer is known as oncology.Droplet Digital PCRDroplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is a method of quantitative PCR that partitions a sample into droplets, allowing precise detection of low-abundance targets. It is commonly used in gene expression analysis and mutation detection.
