BIOCHEMISTRY

Biochemistry is a fascinating field that explores the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. It delves into the molecular mechanisms underlying various biological phenomena, such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and heredity.

CLINICAL PATHOLOGY

Clinical pathology, also known as clinical laboratory science or clinical laboratory medicine, is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and characterization of disease through laboratory analysis of bodily fluids such as blood, urine, and tissue samples.

CYTOPATHOLOGY

Cytopathology is a branch of pathology that deals with the study and diagnosis of diseases at the cellular level. It involves the examination of individual cells collected from various body sites to detect abnormalities indicative of disease. Cytopathologists analyze cellular specimens obtained through techniques such as fine needle aspiration (FNA), Pap smears, and body fluid analysis to diagnose conditions such as cancer, infections, and inflammatory disorders.

HEMATOLOGY

Hematology is the branch of medical science that deals with the study of blood and blood-related disorders. It encompasses the structure and function of blood cells, the mechanisms of blood clotting, and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the blood and bone marrow.

HISTOPATHOLOGY

IMMUNOLOGY

Immunology is the branch of biomedical science that focuses on the study of the immune system, which is responsible for protecting the body against pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi, as well as abnormal cells, such as cancer cells. The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to recognize and eliminate foreign invaders while maintaining tolerance to self.

MICROBIOLOGY

Microbiology is the scientific discipline that studies microorganisms, which include bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and archaea. Microorganisms are ubiquitous and diverse, with significant roles in various ecological, industrial, agricultural, and medical processes.

MOLECULAR GENTICS

Molecular genetics is a branch of genetics that focuses on the study of the structure and function of genes at the molecular level. It investigates how genetic information is stored, replicated, expressed, and regulated within cells, as well as how changes in genes (mutations) contribute to phenotypic variation and disease.

SEROLOGY

Serology is the branch of laboratory medicine that deals with the study of blood serum and its components, particularly antibodies and antigens. It plays a crucial role in diagnosing infectious diseases, immune disorders, and monitoring immune responses to vaccines and treatments.
