美国分子病理学会 AMP Association for Molecular Pathology
AMP组建于1995年,学会致力于分子诊断领域机构的健全与领导,运用严格的体系强化对诊断分子病理学人才的训练和认证。AMP下设遗传学、炎性疾病、血液病理及实体瘤研究4个分会。会员来自学院、政府及工业部门,主要由基础科学家、实验室主任、医学技术人员及训练者等组成。如前所述,AMP与ASIP联合创办的分子诊断学杂志(JMD)为季刊,发表直接将分子研究发现应用于临床诊断的新方法、临床与病理学关系的新发现、改进疾病诊断或监测的分子生物学方法等高质量论文。通过其电子版可浏览摘要。此外,AMP主页链接有众多的分子生物学相关学科,其中蕴涵着大量的分子生物学信息不可忽视。
The Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) was founded in 1995 to provide structure and leadership to the then-emerging field of molecular diagnostics. Through its Board of Directors and Committees, AMP pursues topics of importance to those at the forefront of this growing discipline. From the beginning, AMP has worked to develop mechanisms for training and certification in diagnostic molecular pathology. AMP has assumed national visibility with its efforts to shape regulations and policy that influence research and the practice of molecular diagnostics. The organization is divided into the scientific subdivisions of genetics, infectious diseases, hematopathology, and solid tumors. Each subdivision addresses issues, identifies goals, shapes policy, and provides member benefits specific to that particular discipline. Members can participate in any or all of these subdivisions.
The AMP membership includes individuals from academia, government, and industry, including basic scientists, laboratory directors, medical technologists, and trainees. Through the efforts of an enthusiastic membership from across the United States and around the world, AMP continues to grow in numbers and influence.
