Postgraduate Diploma/Certificate in Molecular Diagnostics

Introduction

Molecular Diagnostics refers to the identification of mutation responsible for causing genetic disorder. Molecular diagnostics is the outcome of the fruitful interplay among laboratory medicine, genomics knowledge, and technology in the field of molecular genetics, especially with significant discoveries in the field of molecular genomic technologies. All these factors contribute to the identification and fine characterization of the genetic basis of inherited diseases which, in turn, is vital for the accurate provision of diagnosis.

Aims of The Course

Keeping in view the importance of Molecular Diagnostics in the era of advance genomics, the course is designed to familiarize the Medical Graduates from the basics of Gene and Genomes, Human Genetics, Hereditary disorders, Genetic diagnosis and their management. Moreover, the course will enable the medical graduate to learn about the bioinformatics approaches used in medical genetics.
