The Molecular Medicine unit plays a major role in clarifying the cause of many unsolved problems in the context of human health to prevent human diseases.

We work in the following areas

• Human Genetics (specially in Hemoglobinopathies, Hemophila, Duchenne muscular dystrophy)
• Cancer biology (specially for identifying new tumor markers and evaluating genome markers for predicting therapy responses)
• Cardiovascular diseases
   

This unit is mainly divided into two parts, services and research

• In the services Division, prenatal diagnosis (PND) tests for the following diseases are performed:
  • Thalassemia syndrome
  • Hemophilia
  • Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
• In the research division, there are various projects which are carried out by PhD and MS students under the supervision of the faculty of Molecular Medicine.
