This course introduces the student to the basic principles of Biology, Microbiology, and Molecular Diagnostics and the associated terminology. This course is offered as part of the Medical Laboratory Technician curriculum and is appropriate for students with some background in biology and chemistry who need a refresher course for the basic principles and terminology. This course is offered in three parts. Part I of this course will highlight the basics of modern cellular biology with the organization of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. A general understanding of both cell types is useful before taking a medical microbiology course. Part II of this course will include an introduction to the basic principles of microbiology, examining the microbes that inhabit our planet and their effects on human health and disease. Part III of this course will provide a comprehensive introduction to the basic principles of molecular diagnostics, highlighting clinical applications and specimen handling.
