Thanks to this Postgraduate certificate, supported by Relearning, you will effectively apply proteomic techniaques in the identification of pathogens and biomarkers of infectious diseases”

According to a report by the World Health Organization, infectious diseases remain one of the leading causes of global mortality, causing approximately 10 million deaths per year. Faced with this reality, physicians play an important role in the diagnosis, treatment and management of these diseases. For this reason, these specialists must stay abreast of the most innovative proteomic techniques to significantly improve the accuracy and speed of diagnosing infections. However, this can be a challenge for physicians in the face of their heavy workload.

To facilitate this work, TECH presents a revolutionary Postgraduate certificate in Proteomics in Clinical Microbiology. The academic itinerary will delve into both the evolution and development of proteins, enabling graduates to make highly informed clinical decisions. In addition, the syllabus will analyze the most advanced qualitative techniques for protein separation, including two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE). In line with this, the program will equip clinicians with the necessary skills to effectively manage bioinformatics tools used in proteomics. The study plan will also include an innovative topic that will explore the future of genomics in the clinical laboratory. 

On the other hand, this syllabus is delivered through a 100% online modality, making it easy for practitioners to plan their own study schedules to experience a fully efficient update. In addition, specialists will enjoy a wide variety of multimedia resources designed to promote dynamic and natural teaching. To access the Virtual Campus, all professionals will need is a device with Internet access (including their own cell phone). Professionals will also be supported at all times by an experienced teaching staff, who will answer any questions that may arise during the course of the program.
