Course Description

This module aims to provide students with an understanding of the principles and applications of molecular diagnostics encompassing genomics and proteomics applicable in laboratory-based research projects and clinical diagnoses. It also covers the cytogenetics of humans by explaining the normal chromosomal structure and chromosome abnormalities. The methodology and techniques for the visualisation of chromosome aberrations used in clinical genetics and research are also taught.

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) Describe the fundamentals and applications in genomics, proteomics and cytogenetics.
2 ) Demonstrate interactive conceptual frameworks in molecular diagnostics and cytogenetics as additional clinical diagnostic procedures.
