This area is also for the addition of template, controls and trendlines to the mastermix tubes or plates. To avoid contamination of the extracted nucleic acid samples that are being analysed, it is recommended to change gloves prior to handling positivecontrols or standards and to use a separate set of pipettes.
When performing multiple reactions, prepare one mastermix containing common reagents (e.g. water, dNTPs, buffer, primers and enzyme) to minimize the number of reagent transfers and reduce the threat of contamination. It is recommended to set up themastermix on ice or a cold block.
Lastly, developing a quality assurance (QA) plan is helpful. Such a plan should include lists of reagent master stocks and working stocks, rules for storing kits and reagents, reporting of control results, staff training programmes, troubleshooting algorithms,and remedial actions when needed.
The first degree offered will be an international Master of Science in Biomedical Diagnostics with shared curriculum and courses offered by both universities. The academic programs will attract students from a mix of recent college graduates and those working in industry wanting to further their careers.
The International Master's Programme in Innovative Medicine (IMIM) is a collaboration between Uppsala University (Sweden), the University of Groningen (the Netherlands) and Heidelberg University (Germany), where admitted students study year 1 at any partner university and year 2 at either Groningen or Uppsala. This means that there are three different study plans where special eligibility for IMIM and the separate partner universities must be fulfilled. Starting at Uppsala University: A Bachelor's degree of at least 180 ECTS from education programmes in biochemistry, biology, biomedicine/medicine, biotechnology, cell- and molecular biology, genetics, or a similar field of study that includes relevant knowledge in chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics and molecular biology/genetics. Previous experience of related laboratory work. Starting at the University of Groningen: A Bachelor's degree in the fields of biology, pharmacy, life science and technology or (bio)medical sciences. Starting at Heidelberg University: A Bachelor's degree at least equivalent to a European undergraduate degree of 180 ECTS with above-average grades. The degree needs to be in medicine or the life sciences (e.g. biology, biochemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical sciences, genetics, molecular biology, biotechnology or closely related fields). Bioscientific and/or medical content must make up at least 60% of the curriculum studied. Proven record of academic and extra-curricular excellence as well as research experience. Strong motivation to pursue a career that incorporates translational, biomedical sciences and research. Eligibility for IMIM and all three partner universities requires documented knowledge of English with results from an internationally accepted test. The minimum test scores are: IELTS (Academic) with an overall score of 6.5 and no less than 6.0 on each section, TOEFL iBT (internet-based test) with an overall score of 92 - no less than 21 on each section, TOEFL CBT (computer-based test) with an overall score of 237 and no less than 21 on each section, TOEFL PBT (paper-based test) with an overall score of 580 and no less than 55 on each section or Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE)/ Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English (CAE).
Tell us a little bit about yourself
In addition to graduating from USC's MS in MDDE program, I also did my bachelor in biomedical engineering from Shandong University in China. I'm really passionate about BME! While pursuing my master's degree at USC, I had a better and deeper understanding of my field of study. So, I joined as an R&D project intern at Medtronic and Data Analytics intern at ThermoFisher Scientific.
Application of diagnostics: Taught through case studies on critical diagnostics-related issues, including bioethics, clinical utility, intellectual property and smart systems, as well as modality integration and systems analysis.
Science of diagnostics: Focuses on underlying bioinformatics and bio-statistical analysis, clinical trial design, regulatory systems and the technology behind imaging pathology, molecular and immunological testing platforms.
Molecular diagnostics is the fastest growing segment of laboratory testing. Precision diagnostics and therapies made possible by the Human Genome Project are revolutionizing healthcare and making new approaches to detection and treatment of complex diseases possible.
Proof of English proficiency is required for any international applicant born in a country where English is not the official language.
Acceptable English Proficiency Credentials can be found at:

You will also learn to apply the acquired knowledge in practice for the development of novel tools and methods for the detection of molecular substances. The education is focused on the key technologies of diagnostics and molecular biology with opportunities to apply this knowledge both to medical and other areas of diagnostics.
Applicants must have excellent English language skills and a certificate that proves those skills. You can indicate your language skills by taking one of the internationally recognized English language tests.
Focus areas of research in the Molecular Biotechnology and Diagnostics studies are novel diagnostic concepts and technologies. The studies focuses also on diagnostics applications in various areas such as medicine, environmental and food quality monitoring. Other research topics of importance include:
Turku has longstanding research traditions in the field of biomedicine. Especially the fields of drug discovery, diagnostics, and biological and medical imaging represent the top level expertise of the University of Turku.
Molecular Biotechnology and Diagnostics specialisation track has close connections to the diagnostic and biopharmaceutical industry. Numerous industrial collaborators include both Finnish and major international players. An important partner in the development of the educational and research collaborations is the Indo-Finn Diagnostic Research Center.
The University of Turku Admission Services will host a Q&A Webinar about how to apply to our international master's degree programmes on Tuesday 12.12. at 15-16 (EET). During this webinar our admission specialists will tell you in detail how you apply to UTU in January 2024. We will also reserve plenty of time for your questions.

With over 58,000 students across South Florida, around the globe, and even online, FIU opens a world of opportunities to explore and gain a deeper understanding of our increasingly international community.
Molecular diagnostic testing uses highly sensitive and specific laboratory techniques to detect and identify biomarkers at the nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) level. Common molecular-based applications include medical diagnosis, establishing prognosis, monitoring the course of disease, and selecting optimal therapies. The master of science in health sciences in molecular diagnostic sciences prepares both MLS certified and noncertified individuals for careers in clinical or public health laboratories, research institutions, law enforcement agencies, as well as biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies.
The proposed curriculum has been designed so that students can complete the entire program in two academic years and offers the flexibility of allowing students to enroll either on a full-time or part-time basis. Furthermore, the program of study provides practical experience to individuals with no previous clinical molecular diagnostic experience in the form of a molecular diagnostics practicum course.
International students who complete an eligible degree programme in the UK on a student visa can apply to stay and work in the UK after their course under the Graduate immigration route. Eligible courses at the University of Nottingham include bachelors, masters and research degrees, and PGCE courses.
