Essentials of Genomics and Biomedical Informatics

Description

In this course, you will learn:

• The scientific foundation, concepts, and vocabulary required for effective communication with bioinformaticians, statisticians, and data scientists.
• In the practise sessions, you will have first-hand experience with a computational analysis.
• An opportunity to undertake fundamental research on your own (utilizing existing tools, not programming new ones).
• A sufficient background in order to pursue further study, research, or training in this discipline.
• Finally, the ability to serve your patients with better, more tailored medicine.
