BIOL 507 - Biomarkers and Molecular Diagnostics
4 Credit(s)
This course is designed to understand detailed biochemical, molecular biological and cell biological approached used in the diagnosis of various abnormalities in human population by using -Nucleic Acids, -protein, -carbohydrate and lipid -based biological markers. This course aims to cover the basic principles of molecular biology and examine their relevance to the identification of disease-causing genes/mutations and the diagnosis of human genetic disorders. This course will provide information for students to understand the structural organization of the human genome, starting from the basic molecules that comprise the genetic material and expanding to the overall organization of chromosomes. This course will provide information to examine and understand modern tools employed to study DNA structure, identify variations in structure among individuals, and apply this information to determine the molecular basis of human diseases. This course will also provide the opportunity for students to survey recent literature to obtain information about latest technological advances and diagnostic applications and discuss the future prospects for molecular approaches to disease diagnosis.
