24 courses with the subject MDTS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
MDTS 400/500 Principles of Molecular Diagnostics ()3
Course will cover basic concepts of molecular biology including nucleic acids, chromosomes, DNA replication, transcription, and translation and the role of inherited and acquired mutations in disease. The role of clinical molecular diagnostics in detection, prognosis, theranostics, and monitoring and management of patients with inherited and infectious diseases will be explored. CHEM 211, CHEM 212 and permission of instructor
Course will cover basic molecular biology laboratory techniques including nucleic acid isolation, restriction enzyme digestion, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), quantitative reverse-transcription PCR, DNA sequencing, western blot, ELISA, and PCR-RFLP. This includes both hands on experience and lecture-based explanation of the science behind the techniques. Pre-Clinical Studies, or Cytology major, or Cytology certificate program, or permission of the instructor MET - Mechanical Engineering

An optional three-week supervised rotation in a hospital-based molecular diagnostic laboratory or a molecular research laboratory. permission of instructor
Laboratory rotation with a pre-designated faculty member in which the student obtains hands-on experience. Designed for graduate students to sample different types of research models, techniques, and subject matter without the commitment of dissertation level involvement.
MDTS 720Genomic Databases: Content, Curation, and Application to
Biomedical Research (3 Credit Hours) This course combines a didactic survey of topics important for understanding the origin, curation, advantages, and limitations of a variety of key genomic resources with hands-on training in the proper use of widely accessed public genome resources and common bioinformatic tools.
Topics to be covered include history of stem cell biology, molecular definitions for stem cell identification, methods for stem cell isolations including: adult and embryonic, current technologies for induced pluripotent stem cell reprogramming, stem cells in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, and current and future stem cell applications.
Topics to be covered include history of tissue engineering, development and morphogenesis, tissue structure, cells, scaffolds, regulators, and creating and evaluating a tissue engineering construct. Focus is on biomedical tissue engineering concepts as applied to creating human tissues in the laboratory for surgical repair of injured and diseased tissues and organs.
Course will cover molecular aspects of cancer including DNA damage, tumor viruses, cell cycle regulation, oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and their respective roles in cancer prevention/development, genes involved in promoting or inhibiting metastasis, angiogenesis, telomeres and telomerase, regulation of both apoptosis and autophagy in normal and cancer cells, cancer stem cells, and diagnostic screening assays for therapeutic responses or resistance in cancer patients. approval also required
Emphasis is on human genetic syndromes and disorders associated with dysregulation of key signal transduction pathways that control gene expression, cell growth and protein synthesis including the Ras/MAPK pathway, tuberous sclerosis complex-mammalian target of rapamycin, PI3- kinase and others. Diagnosis, screening and treatment will be covered.
