Translational Discovery Omics I
Course content
The main themes covered in the course include:
- Phenotype definition
- Genetic variation in health and disease
- Genetic variation in personalized medicine
- Pharmacogenetics
- Methods in genome research including genome sequencing
- Analytical methods in genome research
- transcriptomics
- RNA sequencing incl. single cell sequencing
BRIDGE - Translational Excellence Program
Upon completing the course, participants should be able to:
Knowledge
- Demonstrate an understanding of the impact of genome variation on health and disease
- Discuss the potential applications of modern techniques to study genomic variation
- Have an awareness of strengths and limitations of translation of genome variation into translational medicine
- Have an understanding of the potentials different applications of nucleotide and RNA sequencing
- Show comprehension of the principles and application of transcriptomic profiling of tissues and single cells
Skills
- Critically evaluate results from studies of genetic variation in humans
- Apply simple tools to infer relationships between individuals and populations using genetic data
- Design an appropriate genomic study of human diseases
Competences
- Understand the central aspects of translational omics and be able to discuss and communicate to other scientists, clinicians, and the public.
The course is organized with a mixture of scientific seminars by invited speakers, including technical lectures about modern technologies, and student-led activities. In addition, the course will include group work, case studies, and practical exercises.
