Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to provide the students with the knowledge of biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, medical biology and system biology that they have acquired during their education with the mechanisms that form the basis of diseases and to link all learned metabolic pathways with diseases. In the application part of the course, it is envisaged that the current laboratory tests used in the diagnosis and follow-up of the disease and the basic principles of the analysis methods will be provided to the students in the related department of the central laboratory under the supervision of the responsible faculty member / members and to provide the students with the knowledge of the analysis process.

Course Content
