Objectives of the Course

Medical Biology and Genetic course is to fully develope and give the potential to do research on concerned subjects as well as giving health services. Knowing that in today’s world, medical biology and genetics are two very important factors in life science; we want the students to learn not only basic subjects but also the molecular mechanisms. Moreover the students are emphisized about the fact that all molecular mechanisms in life science are developing rapidly.
