M.Sc. Molecular Biology and Human Genetics


Course Description

Objectives

The following objective of Molecular biology and Human genetics course were

  • The basic genetic terminology at a general level and describes the organisation and development of the genetic makeup on cellular and chromosomal level and be able to explain the basic molecular genetics mechanisms in relation to the structure and function of the cells.
  • Expression gene and proteins this course teaches the students to get an advanced level of knowledge on the activity of genes, genomes and expression gene and proteins the mechanisms of genome regulation.
  • The various types of molecular biological methods that are used to study the regulation and function of biomolecules and describe at a general level the use of different model systems in studies of specific biological questions and the function of genes.
  • Explains the different hereditary patterns for genetic diseases and be able to describe different ways at a general level to identify disease genes.
  • Students will acquire the ability to use their theoretical knowledge in solving applicative problems, with special regard to biomedical issues.
  • To develop early diagnosis and pathogenesis of the Genetic disease and disorders.

Outcomes

Upon successful completion students will be able to

  • Synthesize and incorporate the fundamentals of gene technology in order to understand how such technology impacts humans.
  • Employ the scientific method to generate new knowledge, and to solve problems, regarding human heredity.
  • Apply to real life situations and one’s life the principles of human heredity.
  • Access historical and current knowledge regarding human heredity, and understand how such knowledge has influenced law, medicine and society.
