Bioanalytical Laboratory Diagnostics in Medicine - Medical Genetics and Molecular Diagnostics
Follow-up Master's degree in full-time form. The language of instruction is Czech.
The programme can be studied only as a single subject.
What will you learn?
The study programme Bioanalytical Laboratory Diagnostics in Medicine - Medical Genetics and Molecular Diagnostics is a master's programme aimed at preparing non-medical healthcare professionals profiled to work in clinical laboratories performing genetic or molecular biological laboratory diagnostics. This programme is directly related to the Bachelor's programme Medical Genetics and Molecular Diagnostics taught at the Faculty of Science of MU and includes specialised lectures, practical exercises and professional practice focusing on the application of genetic and molecular biological methods in clinical laboratories. It deepens the basic knowledge in the field of clinical genetics, molecular biology of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, molecular biology of tumours, molecular diagnostics and provides the skills and knowledge needed to work with laboratory technology, especially to perform highly specialised laboratory methods and diagnostic procedures based on DNA and RNA analyses in clinical laboratories, to interpret the results of laboratory tests and to manage the quality control of these laboratories in routine diagnostics and research. It also provides the necessary practice in clinical laboratories and prepares graduates to obtain professional competence to practice the non-medical health profession of laboratory methods.
Practical training
Due to the professional focus, the practical laboratory teaching, which is compulsory for students, is strengthened in this Master's programme. In total, the students complete approximately 540 hours of practical teaching during the Master's studies in a 13-week semester structure, which includes an hour subsidy for the experimental part of the thesis and the compulsory practice in clinical laboratories.
Career opportunities
Graduates of the programme are prepared to work in clinical laboratories focused on genetics, cytogenetics or DNA diagnostics, where they will apply their theoretical and practical skills in genetic examinations of patients and their family members or in molecular biological diagnostics of organisms, pathological conditions of cells and genomes. The Master's professionally oriented study programme Bioanalytical Laboratory Diagnostics in Medicine - Medical Genetics and Molecular Diagnostics is designed so that after completing the Master's studies, graduates will be qualified to work in state and private healthcare institutions on the basis of obtaining professional competence to perform the non-medical healthcare profession of a professional worker in laboratory methods according to Act No. 96/2004 Coll., § 26.
