* The offering term is subject to change without prior notice | ||||||||||
Course Aims | ||||||||||
The course will correlate the basic knowledge obtained in the previous modules and provides students with the fundamental concepts of biomolecule and will further enhance their students’ knowledge in clinical biochemistry. A diverse range of biomolecules including lipids, polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids and metabolites will be studied. Protein structures and the biochemical logic of the metabolic pathways will also be discussed. For the lab sessions, students will be able to perform experiments using advances Immunological techniques, such as fluorescence microscopy and advanced immunodiagnostic assay systems will also be performed. Students will learn how to apply the practical aspects of techniques used in a histopathology laboratory through the lab sessions. Furthermore, the course will include the recent trends of immunodiagnostics of human diseases through a range of case studies. | ||||||||||
