Molecular diagnostics at a crossroads with future insights from the experts

Molecular diagnostics is reshaping how we detect and manage infectious diseases, with far-reaching implications for both patient care and translational research. In clinical settings, rapid molecular testing enables faster, more targeted treatment decisions that can significantly improve outcomes. In research laboratories, the same technologies are unlocking deeper insights into pathogen behavior, resistance mechanisms and emerging threats.

But with every advancement comes a set of challenges. Laboratories must weigh the benefits of adopting new technologies, like improved sensitivity, multiplexing and automation, against practical considerations such as validation complexity, workflow disruption and cost. The need for reliable, adaptable quality controls becomes even more critical as assays grow more sophisticated and regulatory demands increase.

In this expert roundtable—presented in partnership with Streck—leaders from the clinical and research community come together to share their experiences navigating this evolving landscape. They’ll discuss how molecular diagnostics is driving real-world impact, how their labs are adapting to new pressures, and how thoughtful implementation of innovation can yield both scientific and operational rewards.

Whether you're optimizing workflows, evaluating new platforms or rethinking your QC approach, this session delivers expert perspectives to help you navigate the future of molecular diagnostics.
