DESCRIPTION:

Join us for a hands-on course designed to bring you up to speed in technologies used in molecular pathology. The course will focus on informatics and data processing, NGS, and standard molecular pathology techniques including applications for infectious disease testing. It will also highlight new emerging technologies such as optical genome mapping to reveal genome-wide structural variants.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Describe the mechanism of optical genome mapping to detect genome-wide structural variants and copy number variants, and its important applications in hematological malignancies and solid tumors
• Describe the role of informatics in processing clinical molecular data
• Through the use of small group case studies in infectious diseases, solid tumors, hematopathology, and genetics; interpret NGS data to identify genomic alterations
