Hi Sheikha,

I remember, you asking about Molecular Diagnostics and Cytogenetics.

Though I would request you to go back and read those answers, but never-the-less in short, I would say that in terms of Research into cancer diagnostics, Cytogenetics is a good specialization.

Since they are the ones who study the genetic disorders and chromosomal correlation to get the answer to what causes cancer.

Then steps in the molecular diagnostic tools, which once the research is done, they study it in laboratory setup of samples that comes to the diagnostic centre for people who can be affected as suggested by the physician.

As suggested, Cytogenetics are available at the masters level either as an M.Sc or a PG Diploma course.

Mostly this is a 24/7 Research oriented job, whereby you would be required to study samples in a laboratory set-up and write Research papers on it.

Since you have mentioned, job oriented and less research job, then Molecular diagnostic is a better option,
Since Molecular diagnostic is more of studying the samples which comes in for diagnosis at the diagnostic centre as suggested by the physician. They are generally found in the diagnostic centres either hospitals or private centres.

Again Molecular diagnostic is available at the masters level, after a genetic undergraduate study.

Hope this helps.

Wish you good luck....
