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.
