The Molecular Diagnostics Training School (MDTS) is aimed at persons who may have little experience with molecular diagnostics but also those who are looking for a refresher course or want updates on novel developments. The training school will introduce you to common concepts which underpin the tests, including the panoply of tests which are currently used in diagnostic practice. We will also discuss the importance of getting good template and of having robust quality assurance for your tests. The school will also cover new methodologies such as digital spatial profiling and it will conclude with an overview of current applied molecular diagnostics in a variety of different organ systems. As of this year we will add at least one working example in the lectures and have 1-2 pre- and post-questions ready to enhance the interactive experience.
