Program Description:
Genes and proteins are now recognized as the cause of many diseases, and diagnosis based on RNA, DNA, and proteinsof the pathogens are more accurate. Having access to different types of 1T nucleic acids, T1 such asT1 1T DNA, RNA,1T T1 and1T 1T micro RNA, whether in fresh samples, such as blood, 1T serum, and tissue biopsy or in paraffin-fixed tissues has made human or microorganisms genome recognition possible. These molecular methods help diagnose many diseases in different clinical laboratories. Given the extension and variety of diagnostic procedures and the rapid emergence of new techniques for a wide range of human diseases, it is necessary that the specialists in charge of paraclinical laboratory diagnosis become familiar with the latest diagnostic techniques in this field . We hope that the diagnosis and treatment of diseases become possible in different academic centers through the development and improvement of this curriculum and the need to send samples abroad be alleviated by training experts in this field.
Definition
