Clinical Biochemistry: Clinical chemistry (also known as chemical pathology, clinical biochemistry or medical biochemistry) is the area of chemistry that is generally concerned with the analysis of bodily fluids for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
Sanger sequencing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods have been the standard molecular methods in clinical diagnostics for decades. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology r...
In the past several years, there has been an increase in drug testing associated with chronic pain. Immunoassays are the most common method for initial screening which can test for a specific...
New generations of treatments successfully target cancer cell signaling and modulate anti-cancer immunity to improve outcomes for advanced-stage malignancies. Such clinical responses are gove...
