Molecular Diagnostics is clearly going from strength to strength.  That’s the title of the lead article by the guest editors in the January 2020 issue of Clinical Chemistry that is devoted to this topic.  It has been five years since the last molecular diagnostics theme issue was published in Clinical Chemistry.  In this new edition of the theme issue, the editors have highlighted some of the most exciting developments in the field including the maturation of massively parallel DNA sequencing technology allowing production of genomic data at the hospital or even population level. Joining us in this podcast is one of the guest editors for this special issue, Dr. Carl Wittwer.
