What we used to see in reputed references is now produced by the Biology Department at Bethlehem University

The Biology Department at Bethlehem University has integrated a unique feature into its Medical Laboratory Sciences major: the integration of Histopathology into the undergraduate curriculum, something not found at other Palestinian universities.

This course emphasizes the importance of Immunohistochemical staining, a vital technique for evaluating human tissues (as shown in Figure 1). Furthermore, the Mycology course incorporates new, cutting-edge techniques for detecting fungi in clinical samples. These techniques utilize special staining methods that allow the fungi to “glow in the dark” (Figure 2).
