The Role of Molecular Pathology

Precision medicine treatment is becoming the future of new medicine at electric speed, and molecular pathology test labs are driving the effort. In our case at STPA, our tests in molecular pathology are based on more sophisticated technologies—like PCR, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)—to identify genetic mutations, biomarkers, and disease-related alterations at the molecular level.

These technologies have their most significant utility for cancer diagnosis and treatment, diagnosis of infectious disease, and diagnosis of genetic disease. From cancer's actionable mutations to identification of drug resistance in infection, our molecular pathology testing labs  delivers the vital information physicians require to customize treatment to a patient's individual profile.

Our molecular diagnostics staff collaborates with infectious disease clinicians, hematologists, and oncologists to provide high-impact testing that initiates treatment and active monitoring of disease.
