In formal association with Medical Diagnostics Laboratories LLC (MDL) and HUMIGEN LLC, the Institute for Genetic Immunology (both of Hamilton, New Jersey), the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the School of Osteopathic Medicine in Stratford, New Jersey is offering a graduate program entitled “Master of Science in Molecular Pathology and Immunology”. The program is designed to prepare students for careers in diagnostic, immunology, molecular biology and pathology laboratories.

The 17 month program is designed to efficiently move students through a didactic and practical educational experience. Emphasis is placed on guided independent learning. This is coupled with practical experience in private sector biotechnology laboratory environments to train students in molecular aspects of biomedical diagnosis.
