Translational Discovery Omics I - Genomics, Transcriptomics, and Metabolomics
Course content
The aim of the course is to provide the participants with:
i) an overview theory and application of technologies in genetic research in health and disease, ii) introduction to the impact of genetics on precision medicine, iii) an understanding of application of technologies in transcriptomics and single-cell sequencing research and iv) knowledge of online genetics resources and tools.
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 Programme
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.
Course literature is published on Absalon.
Participants must meet the admission criteria in BRIDGE - Translational Excellence Programme.
The BRIDGE – Translational Excellence Programme offers a few select graduated PhDs a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in translational medicine. The courses are only available to the fellows enrolled in the programme. Fellows are automatically enrolled in the courses upon appointment in the programme.
