Molecular Genetic Pathology Fellowship

The University of North Carolina Hospitals offers a one year fellowship in molecular genetic pathology. The fellow gains a working knowledge of molecular procedures including in situ hybridization/FISH, DNA DNA sequencing (massive parallel, pyro- and Sanger sequencing), RNAseq, DNA/cDNA amplification, epigenetics, and array technologies including SNP chips.

These procedures are applied in a wide spectrum of clinical settings including oncology, inherited disease, infectious disease, HLA-typing, identification, and pharmacogenetics. The fellow learns to analyze and interpret molecular data from clinical cases and to compose concise, informative reports that incorporate correlative clinical, histologic, immunophenotypic, and cytogenetic findings. The fellow learns to design and carry out research aimed at understanding the molecular basis of disease and then translating those discoveries into improved laboratory tests.
