Institute of Genetics & Hospital for Genetic diseases

The Clinical & Molecular Diagnosis of Genetic Diseases internship was an intensive and immersive training program designed to equip participants with expertise in cutting-edge genetic diagnostics. This program integrated key disciplines such as cytogenetics, biochemistry, and molecular technologies, providing a comprehensive approach to identifying and understanding inherited disorders.

During the internship, I encountered numerous challenges faced by individuals due to a lack of genetic information and awareness. This experience deepened my understanding of the critical role genetic diagnostics play in healthcare.

Through hands-on laboratory training, participants mastered advanced diagnostic techniques, including karyotyping for chromosomal analysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for DNA amplification, sequencing for genetic variant detection, and biochemical assays for metabolic profiling. These methodologies are essential for accurately diagnosing genetic conditions and tailoring patient care.

The program emphasized precision, innovation, and the intersection of science and medicine, enabling participants to explore novel diagnostic tools that enhance disease detection and management. By merging technological advancements with clinical applications, this internship fostered critical thinking and problem-solving skills, empowering aspiring scientists to push the boundaries of genetic research and transform healthcare.
