Feedback:

Understanding of molecular techniques is very important in pathology because of increasing role of molecular diagnostic. During this training course I see and try some of these molecular techniques in the work (such as PCR, DNA extraction, ROS detection).  So this knowledge will be useful in my scientific work because now I better understand molecular diagnostic and choose appropriate methods. I learnt a lot about radiation effects on human and as I am pathologist this is useful in understanding radiation role in disease. I think that these knowledge I can put into practice in scientific work, in academic work when I make lectures for students. I can tell them more about radiation and molecular pathology as well as I will bring this information for my colleagues.
