Molecular Pathology Library The past two decades have seen an
ever-accelerating growth in knowledge about molecular pathology
of human diseases which received a large boost with the
sequencing of the human genome in 2003. Molecular diagnostics,
molecular targeted therapy and genetic therapy are now routine
in many medical centers. The molecular field now impacts every
field in medicine, whether clinical research or routine patient
care. There is a great need for basic researchers to understand
the potential clinical implications of their research whereas
private practice clinicians of all types (general internal
medicine and internal medicine specialists, medical oncologists,
radiation oncologists, surgeons, pediatricians, family
practice), clinical investigators, pathologists and medical
laboratory directors and radiologists require a basic
understanding of the fundamentals of molecular pathogenesis,
diagnosis and treatment for their patients. Traditional
textbooks in molecular biology deal with basic scienc
