What is molecular pathology?
Molecular pathology is a branch of biomedical sciences that focuses on the progress, development and development of diseases at molecular levels. It can be used practically for patients, except that they are used in biomedical research to learn more about specific diseases, from cancer to genetic conditions. Molecular pathology is usually considered to be a subgroup of pathology, but also includes genetics, immunology and many other aspects of the medical area, and people can approach it from a number of perspectives. In addition to performing amino acid sequencing, people in this area also look at cell tissue samples and perform different tests to learn more about the progress of the disease in specific patients and in general.
One common use of a molecularpathologist is in the study of specimens taken from cancer patients. The pathologist can test the sample to determine where the cancer comes from and look for biomarkers that could indicate susceptibility to specific treatment of cancer. For example, breast cancer thatIt is sensitive to estrogen, it will be treated other than breast cancer that is not. Molecular pathology can develop a therapeutic approach that is adapted to the patient.
This discipline can also be used to study and test genetic diseases and to explore the results of contamination and other environmental influences on human health. Molecular pathologists study things such as carcinogens to learn how they affect the body at the molecular level and determine which chemicals in carcinogen are responsible for the development of the disease. They also study cells and growth of cells, both normal and abnormal, integration of large amounts of cellular biology into their work.
People in this area can undergo training as doctors starting in pathological residence and finally go to molecular pathology. They can also train by studying PhD to work in research and laboratory sciences. In both cases, because this field is growing, it evolves and changes quickly, it is necessary to attend conferences and other opportunities for further education to maintain step changes in the field. Molecular pathology specialist can work in environments such as medical laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and research facilities.
