Diagnostics’ Role In Medicine Today
Diagnostics’ Role In Medicine Today introduces the ever-expanding molecular diagnostics industry. This class defines the groundbreaking field of qualitative and quantitative biomarker measurements. These crucial measurements help identify diseases, select treatments, and monitor chosen therapies. Get ready to explore a wide range of foundational diagnostics used in both research and clinical settings, such as immunochemistry, microbiology, and infectious disease diagnostics. The course ends by focusing on companion diagnostics. The showstopper is a culminating case study on HER2 cancer/Herceptin that highlights real-world evidence of how companion diagnostics help patients receive appropriate therapy. Learn foundational concepts applied in the research and clinic settings and become diagnostic proficient―enroll today!
