Haematology Unit| Introduction | Research | Publications | Diagnostic Services |
The Haematology Unit was established in 1962. This Unit aims to develop new advanced molecular cytogenetics techniques. It is involved in studies of haematological malignancies: gene rearrangement studies in leukaemias, cryptic rearrangements and masked translocations, characterization of gene deletions in acute myeloid leukaemia by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), detection of minimal residual disease in myeloid leukaemia and the monitoring of response to therapy using fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) & molecular techniques.
