Molecular Pathological Epidemiology

Molecular Pathological Epidemiology (MPE) is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from molecular biology, pathology, and epidemiology to better understand the complex interplay between molecular alterations in tissues, environmental factors, and disease development in individuals and populations. In MPE, researchers examine how molecular features, such as genetic mutations, epigenetic modifications, and protein expression, contribute to the onset, progression, and outcomes of various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders. This approach allows for a deeper understanding of disease heterogeneity and the identification of specific subtypes within a broader disease category.
