Molecular Epidemiology and Genomic Approaches

Molecular epidemiology combines molecular biology techniques with epidemiological methods to investigate the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to disease occurrence. By examining the genetic variations associated with diseases, researchers can identify biomarkers, pathways, and susceptibility factors that may influence disease development. Genomic approaches, such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and next-generation sequencing, have revolutionized the field by enabling t...
