Description
The molecular genetic pathology fellowship is a one-year ACGME board-accredited clinical fellowship designed to train pathologists for a career in molecular genetic pathology.
The trainee will get a thorough exposure to all aspects of molecular genetic pathology including hematopathology, oncology, infectious diseases, tissue typing, and medical genetics. Emory Medical Laboratories has a state-of-the art molecular diagnostic facility that performs over 80,000 tests annually, including approximately 4000 molecular hematopathology and cancer mutation profiling tests.
The trainee will gain hands-on experience with a broad range of molecular techniques including nucleic acid extraction, nucleic acid amplification, FISH, SNP-arrays, bone marrow engraftment testing, bioinformatics, and nucleic acid sequencing with a focus on next-generation sequencing. Trainees are expected to participate in laboratory test development and translational research. The fellows will assume progressively more responsibility for test interpretation, and interactions with clinicians and other pathologists as the training progresses.
