[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] The Department of Clinical Pathology at Honam University (Department Head Jang Yoo-ji) announced on the 14th that it conducted clinical equipment training on the theme of 'Screening of Human-Derived Pathogens' for current students and equipment managers on the 10th.


This training introduced the identification of clinically significant bacteria and antimicrobial susceptibility testing analysis methods using the BD Phoenix M50 microbial identification equipment owned by the department, and provided practical sessions where students directly collected and analyzed microorganisms.


The BD Phoenix M50 is a state-of-the-art microbial analysis device installed only in medium to large hospitals, and it is expected to be utilized for high-quality education of Honam University clinical pathology students as well as for supporting pathogen-related research and analysis services in industry-academia-research collaborations both within and outside the region.


Students who participated in the training said, "We feel great satisfaction as we can experience various experiments and practical training that help with national exams and employment."



Department Head Jang Yoo-ji stated, "The 21st century is expected to see a continuous emergence of new infectious diseases, and accordingly, identifying and responding to latent infectious diseases in advance will be a key role of future clinical pathologists. Pathogens carry risks as they can cause diseases, but on the other hand, they have dual aspects as they hold potential value for the development of preventive vaccines. Therefore, the Department of Clinical Pathology at Honam University will continue its efforts in research and development and regional growth," he added.
