There is no such targeted course imparting a 3600 knowledge on Molecular Medical Microbiology and Cancer Biology as a result of which this course will be one of its kind in the country with a multidimensional radiation in associated fields.
This course is ideal for those passionate about Molecular Medical Microbiology and eager to apply it meaningfully in healthcare—improving lives and making a societal impact.
Taught and mentored by faculty members of St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Kolkata (SXC) and the doctors and Medical Microbiologists of Tata Medical Centre, Kolkata (TMC), students will gain academic excellence paired with hands-on clinical training, preparing them for a highly respected and specialized profession.
PG Diploma in Molecular Medical Microbiology encompasses modern aspects of Microbiology, Molecular Biology and Cancer Biology
It has a balanced inclusion of theory and practical which is aided by sophisticated techniques like Droplet Digital PCR, Cartridge based Nucleic acid amplification SystemsHybrid Capture assay, Non amplification based molecular methods, Line Probe assay, Gene chips or DNA micro-array.
Exposure to state of art Instruments and machines used in Molecular Diagnostics like Automated Nucleic acid extraction system, Qubit Fluorometer, Tape Station Next Generation Sequencing Systems: ,: MiSeq (Illumina), Ion Studio, Oxford Nanopore Technology,FISH station.
Statistical analysis of Biological data will add more attractiveness to the course
Most importantly the candidate will develop perfect knowledge on theoretical, Practical, Analytical and Experimental domain
MiSeq (Illumina), Ion Studio, Oxford Nanopore Technology,
While St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Kolkata shall provide its infrastructure of class-room lectures in Basic Microbiology, Host Pathogen interaction,Oncogenic Microbes, Biostatistics, Basics of Bioinformatics and laboratory classes in Molecular Microbiology, Serological methods, Clinical Biochemistry and Enzymology,
The six month paid internship is actually an icing on the cake
The successful completion of the course will be sealed by a Joint Certification from St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Kolkata and Tata Medical Centre, Kolkata.
End Result: A Molecular Medical Microbiologist who has integrated knowledge, principles and techniques from multiple fields to be able to address complex problems in healthcare with confidence, competence and empathy and will fit into any Cancer Biology lab, Molecular Biology lab and Pathological lab with optimum expertise
