Resources
The Laboratory is housed in one of the largest and most sophisticated
university-based Molecular Diagnostics laboratories in the country.
Our 6,400 square foot lab includes two large testing areas with state-of-the-art
equipment, safety features, and office space. The lab operation uses progressive
state-of-the-art technologies and procedures to evaluate infectious diseases,
inherited disorders, oncogene copy number, and other gene abnormalities.
The use of PCR, Real Time PCR Technology, DNA hybridization, microarray
technology and capillary electrophoresis techniques are available, as
are specific studies in Factor V Leiden, Factor II Polymorphism, T &
B Cell Receptor Gene Rearrangement clonnality studies, HIV Viral Load
Quantitation and Genotyping, HCV Quantitation and Genotyping, CMV, EBV
and BKV Quantitation, Fragile X Syndrome, bcr-abl chimeric mRNA Quantitation
and others. For a full menu of Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory tests,
