Summary of Activity

In this program, the goal of the students is to become a technologist with scientific knowledge and skills of laboratory medicine. There are many research fields in the department of Laboratory Medicine, including surgical pathology, hematology, chemistry, bacteriology and gene and chromosome examination. A student can select his own research course after consultation with the faculties.
