BIO-7500 Special Topics: Genetics, Genomics
Special Topics: Genetics, Genomics, and Research & The Human Genome Project and other revolutionary advances have increased and broadened the importance of genetics/genomics in all health care fields. Since virtually all diseases have a genetic component, the clinician and researcher will need to raise genetic hypotheses with every patient and realize when genetic factors play a role in a patient's condition. This course will provide students with a basic knowledge of genomics and genetics necessary for clinical care and research and will enhance their scientific skills. The course will be individualized to accommodate students with varying interests.
