DESCRIPTION

DISTINGUISHABLE FEATURES  OF THE PROGRAMME  

  • Molecular Biology and Genetics – TOP future profession all around the world; 
  • Unique possibility to develop competences for understanding of the disease pathogenesis through Molecular Biology related subjects; 
  • Career in proximity with geneticists and clinicians contributing to further development of genetic knowledge; 
  • Theory and practice in genetic testing in clinical practice, such as cytogenetics, molecular cytogenetics, molecular genetics and biochemical analysis; 
  • Modern technologies for genome, transcriptome or proteome analysis and bioinformatics data interpretation; 
  • Labster Training – cutting-edge interactive lab simulations;  
  • Focus on practical activity and learning by doing. 8 weeks of obligatory practice and voluntary practice on-demand that can be initiated during the first year of study. 
  • Focus on training how to use information technology in genetic research; 
  • Close integration of theory and practice, additional experience in research execution, data analysis  and interpretation.

Graduates from Medical and Veterinary Genetics are trained or given at least basics skills in a number of analytical methods: DNA and RNA extraction, concentration and purity determination, PCR, electrophoresis, polymorphism analysis, bioinformatics data analysis, DNA methylation analysis, gene expression analysis, cytogenetic and molecular genetic analysis; basic cell culture techniques and methods; immunoassay methods. They know basic laboratory procedures for assurance of accuracy and precision of test results.
