Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Medicine - Al-Nahrain University, Prof. Dr. Anis Khalil Nail, the Department of Microbiology, in cooperation with the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Medicine and the Scientific Research Skills Development Unit at Al-Nahrain University, organized an in-person workshop entitled:

"The Academic Approach to Writing Theses and Dissertations"

The academic approach to writing theses and dissertations is the organized framework that guides researchers in structuring their ideas, gathering, analyzing, and presenting information scientifically and objectively. This approach aims to ensure the quality and reliability of research and includes several essential elements. From this perspective, Prof. Dr. Jabbar Salman Hassan delivered the lecture on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. The workshop was attended by a group of faculty members and postgraduate students from the college.

A workshop titled:

"In Situ Hybridization & Immunohistochemistr Techniques"

was held in the Department of Microbiology in collaboration with the Continuing Education Unit on Wednesday and Thursday, December 11-12, 2024, for researchers and medical professionals. The workshop was conducted by faculty members (Prof. Arwa Mujahid Abdullah), (Prof. Asma Baqir Salem), and (Prof. Haider Faisal Ghazi).

In situ hybridization is a cytogenetic technique used to detect specific DNA or RNA sequences in pathological tissue and is applied in many diagnostic medical applications. Immunohistochemistry, on the other hand, is used to identify proteins in tissue cells through the selective binding of antibodies. This method is commonly employed in diagnosing abnormal cells in cancerous tumors, as well as understanding the distribution, localization, and differential expression of biomarkers and proteins in various parts of pathological tissues.
