COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Post Graduate Diploma in Serology is a specialized program designed to equip students and healthcare professionals with in-depth knowledge and practical expertise in the field of serology—the scientific study of serum and other bodily fluids, particularly in the context of diagnosing infectious diseases and immune system disorders. This course bridges foundational immunology with modern diagnostic serological techniques, providing a strong understanding of antibody-antigen reactions, serological testing procedures, and laboratory practices essential in clinical, research, and forensic settings.
Throughout the program, students will explore the principles of immunoassays, serodiagnosis of bacterial and viral infections, autoimmune and transfusion-related disorders, and quality control protocols in serological laboratories. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on training in techniques like ELISA, agglutination, precipitation, Western blotting, rapid tests, and advanced molecular-serological hybrid techniques.
This diploma is ideal for graduates in life sciences, biotechnology, microbiology, medical laboratory technology, and related fields who aspire to build a career in diagnostic laboratories, hospitals, blood banks, research institutions, or public health agencies.
