Essential Concepts in Molecular Pathology,

"Essential Concepts in Molecular Pathology provides the reader with what is missing from most targeted introductions to pathology; the cell biology behind pathophysiology. By bridging molecular concepts of pathogenesis to the clinical expression of disease in cell, tissue and organ; the text provides the student with the background necessary for the understanding of today’s advances in pathology and medicine. The book is compact, easy to follow, filled with useful tables and figures and deserves reading by students and professionals interested in the molecular basis of disease."—Howard Reisner PhD, Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

"Finally, a book that captures the real world environment of molecular diagnosis and pathology of a comprehensive range of diseases while establishing a foundation in the basics of molecular biology is available in Essential Concepts in Molecular Pathology! The clinical hospital laboratory has become a critical link in the rapidly changing way in which we diagnose disease with respect to molecular diagnostics. It has been challenging to embed the fundamentals of molecular diagnosis to students of clinical laboratory science (CLS) programs without a resource of the most current, state-of-the-art molecular foundations. Essential Concepts has not only offered an outstanding textbook to build future CLS practitioners, but it also represents an outstanding "working"resource for the established molecular pathologist and others involved biomedical research.  As the title states, the individual chapters relate the most important points about specific topics with excellent figures and examples while directing the user to Suggested Readings for more in-depth coverage. The editors have put together a wonderful resource for allied health programs and similar professionals to use as a textbook or as a companion to a more comprehensive molecular pathology offering."—Rodney E.
