Basic Sciences
This focus area integrates core principles of basic sciences with practical clinical applications, emphasizing the molecular and immunological foundations of infectious disease diagnostics. It involves hands-on training in microbiological techniques, including the isolation, culture, and biochemical identification of pathogens. Building on immunology, the work incorporates diagnostic assays such as ELISA and immunofluorescence. Molecular biology underpins advanced diagnostic approaches, including nucleic acid extraction, conventional and real-time PCR, and genome-level detection of bacterial, viral, and fungal agents. This foundation in basic sciences supports accurate, evidence-based clinical diagnostics and research.
