Course Description
Biomolecules, DNA Replication and DNA Repair, Control of Gene Expression and regulation Translation and Post translation Protein trafficking and export, Control of cell differentiation, Population and Evolutionary Genetics, Molecular Immunology, Molecular diagnosis in Tropical diseases
Course Goals
The course aims to provide students with the basic and updated knowledge in biomolecules, DNA replication and DNA repair, control of gene expression and regulation, translation and post translation, protein trafficking and export, control of cell differentiation, population and evolutionary genetics, molecular immunology, molecular diagnosis in tropical diseases. Students should be able to appropriately apply the knowledge and molecular techniques to their own research interests.
Course Objectives
1. Understand the principle of molecular cell biology, population genetics and evolution, molecular immunology
2. Apply molecular biology techniques to answer research questions in tropical diseases
3. Dissect scientific principles understanding research works in genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics
Course-level Learning Outcomes: CLOs
At the end of the course, the students should be able to
CLO1: Describe the principle of molecular cell biology, population genetics and evolution, molecular immunology
CLO2: Choose molecular biology techniques to answer research questions and problem solving in tropical diseases
CLO3: Dissect scientific principles understanding research works in genomics, tran-
sciptomics, and proteomics

Learning Populations and Gene Frequencies can we bring about the targeted treatments or personalized treatments to reduce the amount of alleles produced?.
Thank you for asking.
Personalized medicine is a new field of medicine that uses an individual’s genetic profile to decide how to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. It’s great that you are so interested in this topic, but I’m afraid that gene frequencies and population genetics are not the best way to answer your question. Feel free to talk more if you want to!
