Content

The course deals with genetics, genes, DNA structure and function, and elucidates different approaches to how the field is studied and applied clinically. Gene technology methods are used in many of the health services’ laboratories - medical genetics, microbiology, pathology, biochemistry, hematology and immunology. Among other things, the methods are used in disease diagnostics, individually adapted medication and in the detection of infectious microorganisms. In addition, a range of genetic analyses can be carried out to map hereditary factors and risks relating to the development of disease in future. This is strictly regulated in the Biotechnology Act. Ethical aspects of genetic analyses are therefore a key part of the course. The DNA analyses are used to identify persons, for instance in forensic medicine, which is not part of the health service.

In order to carry out the analyses and process and understand the results from the different fields, it is important to have knowledge of the methods used and have background knowledge of DNA and genes. Large quantities of data from new technology also makes requirements of competence and skills in bioinformatics.
