Overview

Powerful new technologies have been driving forward immense and exciting changes in clinical practice.

Key facts:

The days of peering down the microscope to detect chromosome abnormalities are gone, replaced by chromosome analysis at the genomic level. Invasive Down syndrome tests in pregnancy have made way for the evaluation of fetal DNA in maternal blood. And instead of laborious gene-by-gene targeted sequencing, we can now sequence all of our genes in parallel in a single experiment.

The course has been approved for distance-learning continuing professional development (CPD) by the Royal College of Pathologists (RCPath): for 15 CPD credits.  Genomic Technologies in Clinical Diagnostics - Molecular Techniques is offered at St George's, University of London by FutureLearn .
