Molecular Diagnostics: PCR, NGS & Bioinformatics Simulation

Training Overview

Molecular Diagnostics: PCR, NGS & Bioinformatics Simulation is a comprehensive, simulation-enhanced training program designed for medical geneticists, laboratory physicians, molecular biologists, pathologists, and trainees seeking advanced expertise in molecular diagnostic techniques and genomic data interpretation. This two-day course integrates structured theoretical modules with hands-on laboratory and bioinformatics simulations, focusing on accurate variant detection, data analysis, and clinical reporting.

The program begins with core modules covering molecular genetics principles, PCR technologies, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows, sample preparation, quality control, and assay selection. Participants review key concepts in sequencing platforms, library preparation, coverage metrics, and error sources affecting diagnostic accuracy.

Hands-on simulation sessions allow participants to practice PCR assay design, NGS data processing, variant calling, annotation, and interpretation using real-case genomic datasets and bioinformatics pipelines. Under expert guidance, attendees work through full diagnostic workflows from raw data to clinically meaningful reports.

Through interactive case discussions and scenario-based exercises, participants analyze inherited disorders, somatic variants, and complex genomic findings while refining decision-making in test selection, result validation, genotype–phenotype correlation, and multidisciplinary communication. Structured feedback enhances analytical accuracy, reporting clarity, and integration of molecular results into clinical care.

By the end of the program, participants will have developed strong practical competence in PCR, NGS, and bioinformatics-based diagnostics, enabling confident application of molecular testing in routine and advanced clinical settings.
