In recent years advances in molecular biology together with reference data from the human genome project have made it possible to record the full expression profile of cells (i.e. all genes), high density maps of chromosome gain and loss (using SNP), and
Advances in knowledge of the biology of leukemias and lymphomas; genetic alterations contributing to development of these neoplasms; hematopathology; understanding molecular genetics of solid tumors; inherited alterations in tumor suppressor genes and gen
The focus of the course will be on some aspects of human diseases specially on diagnosis and use of biomarkers for treatment. Genetic aspects of the disease disorders will also be covered. Techniques such as ELISA, DNA hybridization, PCR, DNA fingerprinti
