According to the potentials of our department, Molecular Medicine group, Department of New Sciences and Technologies, we would like to propose the following items:
We are pleased to welcome Ph.D. and Post-doc students from abroad in our educational programs and research facilities.
In our programs, we will have several courses and research programs in the area of Cancer, Cardiovascular diseases, and nano-medicine; for more information about the area of our research, please visit the “research programs” option.
The following courses are proposed for our future program
1. Genetics Engineering
2. Molecular Medical Genetics
3. Molecular Epidemiology
4. Clinical Genetics
5. Innovative Cancer Therapies
6. Gene regulation in human disease
7. Cancer genetics
8. Bioinformatics
9. Cell signaling
10. Molecular biology techniques
11. Molecular pathology
Research programs
I) We are interested in (1) novel anticancer drugs targeting key signaling pathways, (2) investigating the role of microRNAs in the aggressive behavior and chemo resistance of cancer, (3) discovering new prognostic and predictive biomarkers, and (4) candidate polymorphisms related to clinical outcome.
II) Bio-bank, human samples: In our cities, we have several big teaching hospitals performing retrospective and prospective trials related to the cardiovascular diseases and cancer. We currently have a Bio-bank of more than 15000 samples (DNA, serum, plasma, hair and nail) usable for this program in subjects with coronary disease and metabolic syndrome, and obesity and diabetes
