Course Description
This course is aimed at exposing students to recent advances in molecular diagnostics of microbial life in medicine while engaging with classic molecular diagnostic protocols. This course will explore target amplification techniques, signal amplification methodologies, and sequencing technologies currently being used in the lab or newly introduced into the lab. We will also explore quality concerns in molecular microbiology as well as bioinformatics, computation, and data transfer—all concerns that need to be addressed as larger data sets are generated in the treatment of patients and the protection of the public from outbreaks.
