About This Program
Our goal is to train fellows to become competent and well-rounded laboratory professionals with a thorough understanding of the concept and application of competency to perform testing as well as a grasp of accessioning-to-report information flow. The LGG fellowship training will provide a practical and applied understanding of cytogenetics and molecular diagnostics as related to genetic diseases (germline/ constitutional) and cancers (somatic/ acquired). -
