Overview

Department of Medical Lab Technology, School of Allied Health Sciences is organizing a guest lecture on Molecular Diagnosis of Tuberculosis Infection & Disease - 2024.

"The event is a guest lecture titled “Molecular Diagnosis of Tuberculosis Infection & Disease”. It focuses on the advanced techniques used in molecular biology to diagnose tuberculosis. The lecture is likely to cover topics such as the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA or RNA in clinical samples, the use of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and other molecular methods. It might also delve into how these methods improve the speed and accuracy of TB diagnosis compared to traditional methods, and their role in managing and controlling the disease. The audience would typically consist of medical professionals, researchers, and students with an interest in infectious diseases and molecular diagnostics. The speaker, presumably an expert in the field, would share insights from recent research and practical applications in clinical settings."
