Purpose

The goal of postgraduate studies is to advance knowledge, foster research, and meet the educational, research, social, cultural, and developmental needs of the country. This is achieved by training high-level scientists who can contribute to theoretical and applied areas of specific knowledge branches, special thematic units, or individual branches of the cognitive subjects taught in the first cycle of studies of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the School of Health Sciences of the IHU. The department also aims to produce and disseminate knowledge, technology, methodologies, tools, and research results in the scientific field in which it operates.
Global phenotypic changes in microbes and their host (Infectomics) are expressed under certain environmental conditions through specific microbe-host interactions during infection. These changes are encoded by the genomes of microbial pathogens and their hosts. Approaches at the genome level to determine the genotype and phenotype will lead to a global "mapping" of microbial pathogenesis, aiming to effectively and rapidly diagnose infectious diseases and develop new strategies for controlling infections.
The object of the MSc is postgraduate teaching, research, and training and specialization of new scientific potential in Biomedical and Molecular Sciences and their applications in the diagnosis of infectious diseases with an emphasis on the latest developments and the acquisition of knowledge and skills in both applied laboratory and clinical research issues. The MSc aims to provide students with modern and specialized expertise in the spectrum of biomedical developments in the service of infectious disease diagnosis. Through in-depth theoretical and practical laboratory training, students will receive comprehensive training in the range of biomedical and molecular sciences applications, and their professional training will be linked to the job market.
The program aims to train students in the modern molecular diagnosis of infectious diseases, with a focus on bioinformatics application techniques. It will cover important topics such as pharmacology, drug action against pathogens, community infections, public health issues, prevention, and surveillance. The curriculum will include both theoretical and practical training in laboratory diagnostic methods for clinical syndromes and infections, with a special emphasis on traveler infections and tropical diseases. In addition, students will specialize in modern neuroscientific issues related to infections of the central nervous system and infections of hematologic patients.
