-Dear friends and colleagues

The course includes lectures on cellular biology and molecular genetics as they apply generally to normal cell and tissue function and to disease processes.  Modules on molecular signaling and therapeutics, bioinformatics and ethical-legal aspects of the discipline are included, as well as literature reviews, laboratory practical and a laboratory project.  Approaches for Studying the Genetics of Complex Traits, Chromosomes and Chromosome Abnormalities, Principles of Cancer Genetics and Genetic Diagnostics, Methods of Human Linkage Analysis, Identifying Human Disease Genes, Genotype-Phenotype Correlations, Applications of the "New Genetics"., Organization of the Immune System and Autoimmune Disease, B Cell Immunodeficiencies, T Cell and Combined Immunodeficiencies, MHC Disease and Transplantation, Phagocyte and Complement Disorders, Disordered Interactions Between Cellular Elements of the Immune System, Allergic Disorders Disorders of Self-Nonself Discrimination-Autoimmunity Defense Against Infectious Disease/Bacterial, Mycobacterial, Fungal Infections,  Viral (HIV/AIDS) and Parasitic Diseases, Growth Factors and Cytokines in Medicine.
