Molecular Biology course for level-3 in Master of Infection Prevention and Control program. It is a 3 credit hour course and continues for 15 weeks and includes different aspects of Molecular Biology and its applications in infection control. It is conducted through theoretical and practical labs/studios and different activities including journal clubs, projects ---etc. This course is designed to provide students with up-to-date knowledge and practice of Molecular Biology as applied biotechnology related to infection control. Students will learn how nucleic acid technology can help very much in detection and identification of infections and for how extend they can be useful for mutation detection in relation to drug resistance. Also students will be able to apply information technology together with molecular biology for epidemiology and related implementations.
