Molecular Genetics
Molecular Diagnostics (Haematology and Solid Tumour)
Austin Pathology Molecular Diagnostics laboratory offers services including massively parallel sequencing, fragment analysis, droplet digital PCR and quantitative RT-PCR for haematology and solid tumour testing in a NATA accredited setting.
Knowledge about the human genome and opportunities to use medical genetics and genomics in medical practice has expanded over the last couple of decades. Diagnosis, classification, therapeutics and disease monitoring of haematological and solid organ diseases rely on integration of morphological, immunophenotypic and genomic information.
Austin Pathology provides patient focused service with a high-level of clinical and scientific guidance that is supported by Haematologists, Anatomical Pathologists and Molecular Scientists.
