Keiser University Orlando campus Histotechnology Program students recently rolled up their sleeves to conduct independent research relating to a variety of topics.

Led by Department Chair, Professor and Clinical Coordinator Komal Gada, learners presented findings relating to symptoms causes and treatments for conditions including Helicobacter Pylori infection, Hepatitis C, Squamous Cell Skin Cancer, Asbestosis, Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bone Disease), Tuberculosis, Osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, Lyme disease, and more.

Student presentations were delivered to a diverse audience including fellow learners, faculty, staff and community members.

The Associate of Science in Histotechnology degree at Keiser University provides students with practical, hands-on education that prepares them for entry-level employment in the growing field of histotechnology. A histotechnician works within medical laboratory settings to collect and prepare human tissue for diagnostic examination. Keiser’s Histotechnology Program is designed to foster a commitment to patient care and teach students how to work as health care professionals.
