Teaching
We offer M.Sc. and PhD courses in Reproductive Genetics, details of which are given below. Apart from this, short-term post-graduate training as well as internships are offered, along with long-term post-doctoral training opportunities.
?
M.Sc. Reproductive Genetics
Focus:?The M.Sc. in Reproductive Genetics is a multidisciplinary full-time program, to provide graduates in life sciences an opportunity to understand the genetic and epigenetic aspects of the human reproduction process in natural and assisted conceptions using state-of-the-art facilities.?
Course Description:?The program consists of four semesters (in 2 years, 80 credits) involving intensive training in basic and advanced genetic tests to understand the pathophysiology of reproductive cells. The learning process uses a combination of exercises including interactive theory lectures, practical classes, tutorship, postings, small group discussions, seminars, and electives. Furthermore, students will be assigned a semester-long mandatory research project related to reproductive genetics to get the essence of research. Moreover, students will go through a one-month mandatory internship training in a reputed genetic lab through an industry-academia partnership.
Admission: Admission to this course is through the Common Entrance Test conducted by MAHE, followed by an interview. Call for admissions is advertised on the website.
Eligibility: B.Sc. in any field of life sciences with minimum of 60% aggregate or equivalent, and preferably background in Reproductive physiology AND/OR Genetics.
Duration: 2 years (4 semesters)
Semester 1: Fundamentals of Human Genetics & Reproduction |
Semester 3: Preimplantation and Prenatal Genetic Diagnosis & Applied Bioinformatics |
Semester 2: Genetic Basis of Infertility & Developmental Genetics |
Semester 4: 沙巴体育 project and Internship |
Career prospects:?On completion of the M.Sc. course, the candidates will have the opportunity to pursue research and join for Ph.D., work as reproductive geneticists/scientists/project staff in diagnostic genetic labs, hospitals, and research labs.?
