Course Objective

As a fundamental lecture for the medical laboratories, the aim of this lecture is bringing the students to a better understanding of both clinical and general biochemistry topics. This lecture would present the laboratory technicians not only the knowledge they might use directly in their work lives, but also the very foundations of new techniques based on this knowledge.
