Students will study the role of microorganisms in food safety, as well as the techniques used to detect and prevent contamination in food products.
19479 Diagnostic Molecular biology 3 This course focuses on the principles and applications of DNA and RNA isolation, amplification, hybridization, and analysis. It covers a wide range of applications in microbiology, fetal diagnosis, cancer treatment, organ transplantation, paternity testing, blood clotting exposure testing, and forensic medicine. Students will gain an understanding of the molecular techniques used in these areas, with an emphasis on their practical uses in clinical diagnostics, genetic testing, and forensic investigations.
19480 Public health and epidemiology 3 This course focuses on the principles of designing, interpreting, and analyzing epidemiological studies within the context of public health. It covers the foundational concepts related to the occurrence of disease, including the factors influencing disease spread, the causal relationships between variables, and the connections between various factors. The course also explores methods for evaluating and addressing research flaws within public health studies, emphasizing strategies to mitigate these issues. Ethical considerations in conducting and publishing epidemiological research are a key component of the course, ensuring students understand the ethical standards and responsibilities in this field. Additionally, the course examines the impact of public health policies on epidemic control and the enhancement of community safety, highlighting how effective policies can influence the spread of diseases and improve population health outcomes.
19481 Embryology 3 This course covers the fundamental aspects of human embryology, including sexual differentiation, the reproductive organs in males and females, and the fertilization process. It explores the division of the zygote, vital processes during zygote division, and the specialization of embryonic cells. The course also addresses the formation of the germ layers, the development of the primary tissues in the human embryo, and the formation of organs and systems in the human body. Additionally, the course highlights key applications in embryology, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of human development from conception to the early stages of organogenesis.
19482 Compatibility of lab results with diseases 3 This course focuses on the study of various medical cases involving common diseases, both infectious and non-communicable. It emphasizes the importance of correlating laboratory test results with clinical data to ensure there are no conflicts or inconsistencies before the results are communicated to the patient. Students will engage in discussions of laboratory results, with a particular focus on identifying known interactions between tests. This process is essential for maintaining the quality and accuracy of results post-analysis and for ensuring the validity of diagnostic conclusions.
