This postgraduate-level course will help you understand new and established genetic technologies, and their application to clinical practice.

This course focuses on molecular techniques. By the end, you will be able to demonstrate knowledge and applicability of the molecular principles behind:

  • array comparative genomic hybridisation (array CGH);
  • karyotyping;
  • fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH);
  • Southern blotting;
  • multiplex ligation probe amplification (MLPA);
  • polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing;
  • quantitative fluorescent PCR (QF-PCR);
  • single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping and genome wide association studies (GWAS);
  • and the extraction and analysis of cell free fetal DNA, including non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).


Through practice exercises each week, you will evaluate which laboratory investigations are most suitable for a given clinical scenario.
