Molecular Pathology: Principles, Techniques, and Clinical Applications of Molecular Diagnostics

By Sharjeel Chaudhry, Saeed Khan, Zarmina Ehtesham

With the rapid evolution of precision medicine, there is a growing need for an integrated understanding of molecular pathology in both research and clinical settings. This textbook explores the principles, techniques, and clinical applications of molecular pathology. Covering disease mechanisms, diagnostics, and personalized medicine, it bridges basic science and clinical practice. It is designed as a core textbook for courses such as Molecular Pathology, Molecular Diagnostics, or Genomic Medicine and provides a comprehensive overview of key molecular concepts, diagnostic techniques, and the role of molecular pathology in the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of diseases--including cancer, genetic disorders, infectious diseases, and neurodegenerative conditions. It covers essential technologies such as PCR, NGS, and bioinformatics, and explores their application in modern clinical practice. Ethical, legal, and social implications are also discussed, ensuring a well-rounded perspective. By bridging fundamental science with clinical relevance, this volume serves as a valuable resource for graduate and postgraduate students, pathologists, researchers, and healthcare professionals in modern medicineaiming to integrate molecular tools into patient care.
