This research plan aims to enhance the department’s role in studying and diagnosing genetic disorders, integrating cytogenetic and molecular laboratories with clinical genetics and supporting postgraduate programs.

The research plan of the Department of Applied Medical Chemistry focuses on several key areas aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of cancer mechanisms and developing effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The main research plan components include:

  1. Cancer Research:
    • Focusing on studying specific types of cancers with high prevalence or significant public health impact, such as:
      • Breast cancer
      • Liver cancer
      • Colorectal cancer
      • Leukemia
      • Prostate cancer
    • Analyzing genetic and environmental factors contributing to the initiation and progression of these cancers.
  2. Developing Innovative Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques:
    • Researching the use of nanotechnology to improve diagnostic accuracy and enhance drug delivery to cancer cells.
    • Developing new biomarkers for early cancer detection and evaluating patient response to treatment.
  3. Research Collaboration and Training:
    • Strengthening collaboration with other departments and research centers for interdisciplinary research.
    • Providing training programs and workshops for researchers and students to enhance their research and technical skills.
