About
This 10-week, self-paced flagship certificate programme prepares Medical Laboratory Scientists and biomedical professionals to build practical competence across the complete molecular diagnostic pathway. Participants study molecular biology, specimen management, nucleic acid extraction, PCR, gel electrophoresis, qPCR, clinical interpretation, reporting, and quality assurance through short lessons, downloadable reference sheets, guided simulations, case-based exercises, and knowledge checks. Practical demonstrations give learners a clear, step-by-step view of essential laboratory procedures, including specimen collection, labeling, storage, and processing; nucleic acid extraction; PCR preparation and amplification; gel electrophoresis; qPCR workflows; contamination prevention; laboratory biosafety; quality control; and the documentation of results. Demonstrations are reinforced with troubleshooting scenarios, case-based interpretation exercises, and simulated reporting activities so participants can connect bench procedures with reliable clinical decisions. The programme aligns molecular diagnostic practice with laboratory biosafety, contamination prevention, quality control, and professional reporting standards. By completion, learners can work through a molecular diagnostic case from patient and specimen considerations to validated result interpretation and reporting.
