Molecular pathological epidemiology

Molecular pathological epidemiology is a type of science that studies how disease affects people and what causes it. It combines many different areas of science, such as genetics, pathology, and epidemiology. Genetics is the study of how genes affect our bodies and how they can cause diseases. Pathology is the study of how diseases cause changes in our body. Epidemiology is the study of how diseases spread in a population. Molecular pathological epidemiology looks at all these areas together to try to better understand how diseases can spread and how genes might play a role. It also looks at how changes in the environment can affect our health.
