On December 5, Nicholas Paduch, a researcher from the Molecular Cytogenetics Laboratory at the Institute of Human Genetics, Jena, Germany, who conducts research in the areas of prenatal and molecular-cytogenetic diagnostics of cancers, delivered a scientific lecture at YSU Faculty of Biology.
In the first part of the lecture, Nicholas Paduch discussed the collaborative areas of the Molecular Cytogenetics Laboratory, and over ten other laboratories worldwide. He also focused on the prospects of molecular cytogenetics. In the second part, the scientist addressed the various methods of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), contemporary approaches in medical-genetic counseling, and the study of chromosomal mutations for diagnostic and research purposes.
The speaker also presented methods for the automated analysis of chromosomes and chromosomal mutations, utilizing fluorescence microscopy and genomic optical mapping.
This lecture was organized within the framework of the joint Armenian-German laboratory at the Chair of Genetics and Cytology (YSU Faculty of Biology), as well as the Armenian-German joint program (22SC-BMBF-1C001), with the support of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sport of the Republic of Armenia and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research of the Federal Republic of Germany.
