Blood and the immune system are at the heart of human health. Disorders such as anemia, leukemia, clotting abnormalities, and autoimmune diseases continue to affect millions worldwide. Understanding, diagnosing, and managing these conditions requires highly trained specialists. At Shalom University, the Master of Science (MSc) in Hematology and Serology prepares graduates to become leaders in laboratory medicine, clinical practice, and biomedical research.
This program offers an advanced curriculum that integrates theory, laboratory practice, and research. With a strong focus on diagnostic techniques, molecular biology, and epidemiology, it equips graduates with the skills to address both routine and complex challenges in blood and immune system disorders.
Advanced Human Anatomy & Physiology of Blood and Immune Systems
The program begins with an in-depth study of the anatomy and physiology of blood, bone marrow, and the immune system. Students learn how normal hematopoiesis and immune responses work as a foundation for recognizing pathological changes.
Advanced Hematology: Red & White Cell Disorders
This module explores disorders of red and white blood cells, including anemia, hemoglobinopathies, leukemias, and lymphomas. Students gain expertise in both clinical presentation and laboratory diagnosis of these conditions.
Hemostasis and Coagulation Studies
Blood clotting is a vital process, but abnormalities can lead to life-threatening conditions. Students study hemostasis, thrombosis, bleeding disorders, and coagulation testing, preparing them to contribute to advanced diagnostics in hospital and research laboratories.
Transfusion Science & Blood Banking
Safe blood transfusion is a cornerstone of modern medicine. This module trains students in blood banking, compatibility testing, donor screening, and transfusion safety protocols, ensuring graduates are equipped to manage transfusion services.
Clinical Immunology & Serology
Students gain expertise in immune system testing and serological techniques, which are critical in diagnosing autoimmune diseases, infections, and immune deficiencies. This module combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on laboratory practice.
Molecular Hematology & Genetics
Modern medicine relies heavily on molecular insights. This course introduces genetic testing, molecular markers, and advanced DNA-based diagnostics in hematology, enabling students to work at the intersection of genetics and blood science.
Oncology & Hematologic Malignancies
A significant portion of hematology is devoted to cancers of the blood and lymphatic system. This module covers the pathophysiology, diagnostics, and treatment monitoring of leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas.
Advanced Laboratory Techniques in Hematology & Serology
Practical training is at the core of this MSc program. Students learn microscopy, flow cytometry, immunophenotyping, and advanced serological methods, ensuring they are laboratory-ready upon graduation.
Quality Assurance & Laboratory Management in Hematology
Laboratory medicine must meet the highest standards. This course emphasizes quality control, accreditation systems, and effective laboratory management, preparing graduates for leadership roles in clinical and diagnostic settings.
Epidemiology of Blood-Borne and Immune Disorders
Understanding the global burden of blood and immune system disorders is essential. This module explores the epidemiology of conditions such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, hemoglobinopathies, and autoimmune diseases, linking laboratory science to public health.
Research Methods & Biostatistics in Laboratory Medicine
Students are equipped with the tools to conduct independent research. This course emphasizes study design, statistical analysis, and interpretation of biomedical research, ensuring evidence-based practice.
Thesis/Capstone Project in Hematology and Serology
The program culminates in a thesis or capstone project, where students conduct original research in hematology or serology. This project provides the opportunity to contribute to scientific knowledge and address real-world health challenges.
