Students will learn aboutthe causes of mutation and how these mutations can lead to disease. The molecularmechanisms of genetic diseases will be learned and how these may affect patientsindividually and in discrete populations. Students will also be exposed to the principlesand applications of recombinant DNA technology.References1. Turnpenny, P., & Ellard, S. 2011.

The scope includes introductionto classification of microorganisms (such as helminthes, protozoa, fungi, bacteria andviruses), their genetics, virulence factors, pathogenesis and laboratory identificationof these microorganisms from clinical specimens. This module also emphasizes theimportance of the role of host’s immune system (cellular and humoral) in protectingthe body from the invading pathogens. The components of the immune system and the
