Skrócony opis:

“Molecular Biology” course is realized on the third year of studies within the module considering modern method of diagnostics and it includes 12 hours of tutorials. The general objectives of teaching "Molecular Biology" include knowledge of the structure of the human genome and molecular biology methods used in modern medical diagnostics. The course supplements the information obtained under the obligatory subject "Molecular biology" realized on the first year of studies. The main goal of the course is to consolidate the theoretical knowledge of students in the field of diagnostic methods based on molecular biology techniques and to improve their practical skills.

Pełny opis:

"Molecular biology" course on third year focuses on genetic techniques such as methods of nucleic acid isolation and PCR. The course discusses research techniques used in modern medicine and medical diagnostics.

During tutorials, students themselves apply the known methods used in modern molecular biology. Students isolate human genomic DNA, carry out the amplification of the obtained genetic material using the PCR method. They also detect PCR products by means of agarose gel electrophoresis. Students acquire skills related to techniques enabling identification of human sex by molecular methods. In addition, they learn about the principles of working with biological material prevailing in the diagnostic genetic laboratory.

THE CONTENT OF EDUCATION:

Tutorials:

1. Structure of the human genome.

2. Methods of labeling and detection of nucleic acids.

3. Techniques of molecular biology used in the diagnosis of cancer.

4. Techniques of molecular biology used in forensic medicine.
