Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory

Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory

Students employ a wide range of molecular tests to analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. These tests enable to detect pathogens (viruses, bacteria, and parasites), identify genetic mutations, and assess gene expression patterns for diagnostic purposes.

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a central technique for amplifying and detecting specific DNA sequences. It is used for various applications, including infectious disease testing, genetic testing, and detecting genetic predispositions to certain conditions.

Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory plays a vital role in detecting and characterizing infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria. Rapid and accurate identification of pathogens allows for timely treatment and containment of infectious disease outbreaks.
