About the Program
Clinical chemists conduct research and develop laboratory procedures that help physicians make earlier, more precise diagnoses and tailor therapy for patients. As technology develops – in “hot” areas like molecular biology, vaccine development or transplant medicine, – clinical chemists apply their knowledge to develop practical applications of these advances†.
