Molecular Pathology - Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center

Molecular Pathology from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center is a Campus Master Medicine degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. The knowledge gained from the completion of the Human Genome Project has been unprecedented and is leading to rapid advances in technologies used in both discovery and diagnostics. Molecular Pathology , through state of the art genomic and proteomic analysis, is paving the way for provision of quality healthcare. The MP program offers a Master of Science degree in Molecular Pathology that provides students with the theoretical knowledge and technical skills to work in a molecular diagnostics laboratory. The molecular laboratory facility is accredited by the College of American Pathology and is comprised of state-of-the-art equipment so that students can be trained on some of the most complex molecular testing instruments available. The laboratory space is divided into a clean room (where DNA and RNA are isolated) and a dirty room (where PCR, DNA sequencing, and viral assays are performed). The techniques students learn are similar to those used by forensics laboratories. APPLICATIONS: Prenatal and pre-implantation diagnosis Risk assessment for familial cancer Diagnosis of many neurological disorders Evaluate malignancies and hematologic disorders for diagnostic or staging purposes Identification of microbiological agents Forensics If you enjoy working in the lab, if you're good at hands-on puzzle solving, if you are interested in something new and unique, or if you just love science, apply to the Molecular Pathology program. Take this opportunity to get in on the ground floor of this exciting new discipline! A student admitted into the Molecular Pathology program must meet basic and essential requirements that are necessary to be able to obtain employment.
