Discussion of a Master’s Thesis
The Department of biology at the College of Education for Pure Sciences discussed the master’s thesis for the student (Ali Jabbar Abdullah) entitled (Molecular detection of some mutations that cause prostate cancer in the Holy Karbala Governorate), under the supervision of Assistant Professor Dr. (Zainab Nizar Jawad). The study aimed to:
1. Studying the effect of some risk factors on prostate cancer (age, place of residence, smoking, family history of prostate cancer).
