4:30Question and Answer Session
The topic was chosen by the Executive Committee of the Society for Hematopathology at the recommendation of the membership because high-throughput technologies are being used increasingly in the investigation of hematopoietic proliferations and our members need to be familiar with these techniques. The field of hematopathology has traditionally led in the clinical use of advanced technology for the diagnosis, classification and monitoring of disease. This symposium will introduce the newest technologies, including high throughput sequencing, methylation profiling, detection of microRNAs and applications of proteomics in the study of hematopoietic proliferations. The audience will learn advances already made from the use of these technologies as well as how these methods may impact diagnostic pathology in the future.
