Advancing Medical Diagnostics with Molecular Techniques

Abstract

Zhou Guo*

In the ever-evolving field of medical diagnostics, the integration of molecular techniques has brought about transformative changes, revolutionizing the way healthcare professionals detect, diagnose, and monitor diseases. Over the past few decades, advancements in molecular biology, genomics, and biotechnology have significantly enhanced our understanding of disease mechanisms at a molecular level, providing more precise and personalized diagnostic tools. These molecular techniques, which include Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), microarray analysis, and various types of biomarkers, have had a profound impact on how we approach the diagnosis of both infectious and non-infectious diseases, genetic disorders, cancers, and even rare conditions. This manuscript explores the major contributions of molecular techniques to medical diagnostics, their applications, and the future potential they hold in transforming healthcare.
