Divisional focus
The Division of Hematopathology & Molecular Pathology focuses on providing actionable clinical results, using state-of-the-art diagnostics for St. Jude patients. This includes an expanding suite of spectral flow cytometry assays, whole genome sequencing, transcriptome sequencing and methylation profiling. We are committed to developing new and novel assays to best diagnose pediatric malignancies to allow for optimal patient management.
