What are the Challenges in Molecular Pathology and Epidemiology?
Despite its potential, the integration of molecular pathology with epidemiology faces several challenges, including:
Data Integration: Combining large-scale molecular data with traditional epidemiological data requires advanced computational tools and expertise. Ethical Considerations: Ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of genetic information is crucial. Cost: High costs associated with molecular techniques can limit their widespread use in population studies. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Effective collaboration between molecular biologists, epidemiologists, and public health professionals is essential for successful integration.
