Program Summary

Histopathology and Cytology are specialized fields of study within medical science that focus on the examination and analysis of tissues and cells under a microscope to diagnose diseases. Histopathology involves the study of tissue samples to observe changes that might indicate disease, such as inflammation, infection, or cancer. It typically requires the preparation of tissue specimens through processes like fixation, sectioning, and staining, followed by detailed examination. Cytology, on the other hand, focuses on individual cells, often obtained from bodily fluids, smears, or biopsies. It provides insight into cellular abnormalities or infections and is commonly used for screening and early detection of conditions like cancer. Students pursuing a course in Histopathology and Cytology are trained to recognize cellular patterns, understand disease mechanisms, and apply these skills in clinical diagnostics. The course blends theoretical knowledge with practical laboratory techniques, preparing students to contribute to medical research and patient care through the analysis of tissue and cell samples.
