📍About Karina
“I use PCR for many of my studies, I find it extremely important for people to grasp the basics about what PCR does, what is useful for and what it is not useful for. This is particularly important in light of the recent pandemic, that based diagnosis of cases primarily on PCR. The more you know about the validity and predictive value of a test, the better placed you will be to make informed decisions for yourself and for your patients, now and beyond COVID.”
