Molecular Pathology

Course Objective

The aim of this course is to learn macroscopic sampling, tissue processing and sectioning, tissue storage, histochemical and immunohistochemical staining methods, DNA and RNA isolation, hybridization, polymerase chain reaction as well as sequencing procedures; and therefore to identify application methods and areas of molecular pathology.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Students will be able to discuss and practice storage of cells and tissues, and fixation characteristics for molecular pathologic examination
2   Students will be able to discuss and practice association of macroscopic evaluation and sampling methods with molecular pathologic examination
3   Students will be able to discuss and practice association of tissue processing, paraffin-embedding, sectioning and histochemical staining methods with molecular pathologic examination
4   Students will be able to discuss and practice principles of immunohistochemical staining methods
5   Students will be able to discuss and practice DNA and RNA isolation, polymerase chain reaction, gel electrophoresis and sequencing procedures
6   Students will be able to discuss and practice different types and application methods of in situ hybridization
7   Students will be able to discuss and practice methods and application areas of microarray
8   Students will be able to discuss and practice topics about safety of both molecular pathology laboratory employees and diagnosis
