As more and more traditional core laboratory procedures are converted to molecular methods—particularly in microbiology and infectious disease—molecular-based lab testing volume will continue to grow rapidly.
As molecular diagnostic testing becomes standard of care, an increasingly diverse array of laboratories are offering molecular tests, and the share revenues from this category are expected to grow to as much as 33% over the next eight years.
Find out what tests are most likely to be integrated, how integrated diagnostics is affecting the lab, and how you can harness this market’s emerging science, new business models, and consumer demand given the current regulatory and business environment to best grow your lab.
Topics to be addressed at this fifth annual event include:
- Optimizing Your Molecular Test Menu
- Case Studies of Leading Molecular Labs in Health Systems, Academic Medical Centers, and University Hospitals and Genetic Labs
- Using Genetic Counseling and Communicating Molecular Test Results
- Where Is Molecular Diagnostics Headed for the Clinical Lab?
- Legal and Regulatory Issues Affecting Molecular Labs
- How Labs Are Making Use of the Glut of Molecular Diagnostic Data
- Reimbursement for Molecular Assays
- How Labs Are Linking Molecular Diagnostics and Diagnostic Imaging
- Choosing and Using Pharmacogenomic Tests in the Clinical Lab
