Course Outcomes:
The students will be able to
- Recognize the basic elements concerning cell injury and death, tumors and the mechanisms of response to tissue injury
- Compare different clinical manifestations of different types of pathogens
- Compare and contrast experimental approaches with their advantages/disadvantages of each approach for specific pathogens.
- Adapt the physical and chemical methods to control the growth of microbes
- Evaluate immunopathology, oncology, general and organ-specific pathophysiology
- Critically analyse the standards of practice of medical laboratory science in clinical/research microbiology laboratories including laboratory safety standards
