Web-Based Learning of Molecular Genetics and Curricula Development

Molecular genetics is the study of the structure and function of genes at a molecular level. This field studies how the genes are transferred from generation to generation. All diseases like cancer have a genetic component, whether inherited or resulting from the body's response to environmental factors. Genetics is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of diseases. The ultimate goal is to use this information to develop new ways to treat, cure, or even prevent the thousands The number of laboratory technicians is not enough even for scientific genetic research activities. There is a clear need for higher numbers of laboratory technicians for experimental manipulations, perform and troubleshoot molecular biology tasks not only in Turkey but also in whole Europe in order to able to start the century of molecular genetic based cure development. WEBGENTECH project aims to educate laboratory technicians in the topic of main molecular genetics techniques by a very efficient and practical method namely Web-Based Learning (WBL).The consortium involved in our project hospitals, research centers, associations and university. The project partners will create an initial training curriculum and teaching materials to provide participants with knowledge and skills that qualify them to enter the molecular genetic techniques workforce. The beneficiaries of the results of our project will be initially the laboratory technicians, who will find increased job opportunities and a more profitable market for their produce, leading to better employment and increased income. This will lead to the development of new cure opportunities for patients. The advancement in cure developments will also benefit the patients both in Turkey and in whole Europe.
