Translational Discovery Omics I - Genomics, Transcriptomics, and Metabolomics
Course content
The aim of the course is to provide the participants with:
i) an overview of theory and application of technologies in genetic
research in health and disease,
ii) an introduction to the impact of genetics in precision medicine, and
iii) an understanding of application of technologies in transcriptomics and single-cell sequencing research.
The main themes covered in the course include:
- Phenotype definition
- Genetic variation in health and disease
- Genetic variation in personalized medicine
- Methods in genome research including genome sequencing
- Analytical methods in genome research
- Transcriptomics
- RNA sequencing incl. single cell sequencing
This course mostly focus on basic omics. The translation of omics is included in later omics courses in the BRIDGE Programme.
BRIDGE - Translational Excellence Programme
Upon completing the course, participants should be able to:
Knowledge
- Demonstrate an understanding of the impact of genetic variation in health and disease.
- Discuss the potential applications of modern techniques to study genomic variation.
- Have an awareness of strengths and limitations of translation of genetic variation into translational medicine.
- Get an understanding of the potential different applications of nucleotide and RNA sequencing.
- Show a 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 study of the genetics of a 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 mix of scientific seminars by
invited speakers, including technical lectures about modern
technologies, and participant-led activities. In addition, the
course will include group work, case studies, and practical
exercises.
The course will end with an evaluation where participants must
reflect on course learning outcomes and give feedback for course
development.
Course literature will be published on Absalon.
Participants must meet the admission criteria in BRIDGE – Translational Excellence Programme.
The BRIDGE – Translational Excellence Programme offers a few selected 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 admission to the programme.
