Our Medical Genomics MSc course will bring you up to speed with the post-genomic era following the game-changing breakthrough that is the sequencing of the human genome.

Introduction to programming for biology. Introduction to statistical computing in R. Algorithms for molecular biology. Medical genomics I.

Programming for biology. Overview of molecular biology/genetics concepts. Statistical computing in R. Algorithms for molecular biology.

The only Master’s specialisation in the Netherlands covering the function of our epigenome, a key factor in regulating gene expression and in a wide range of diseases.

There is currently a worldwide shortage in graduates qualified in Bioinformatics and the skills to interpret the data that is going to underpin advances in biology and medicine in 21st Century.

The. Genomic Medicine and Healthcare course.

The increasing impact of genetics in healthcare and the development of newer sophisticated technologies requires contributions from research scientists, clinical laboratory scientists and clinicians to investigate the causes of, and therefore permit optimal management for, diseases for which alterations in the genome, either at the DNA sequence level or epigenetic level, play a significant role.

Rapid advances in genetics and genomics is revolutionising the practice of modern medicine and healthcare and as such health and medical services around the globe are preparing their work forces for genomics integration.

Ecologists and evolutionary biologists now routinely use next-generation DNA sequencing in their research, and graduates who are skilled in both genome analysis as well as ecology and evolution are rare.

The advent of affordable rapid genome sequencing will produce enormous amounts of genetic data on both individuals and populations, and the challenge for scientists is to unlock the potential of this ‘big data’.

This programme combines in-depth teaching of disease mechanisms and molecular technologies with an emphasis on developing your critical and practical skills.

Genomic technologies and information will transform practice across the clinical professions over the next decade. This MSc is a new programme developed by Health Education England and being offered by a network of centres across England.

Learn to apply genetics, genomics and bioinformatics to patient care. Learn from clinical and academic experts from The University of Manchester, Manchester Centre for Genomic Medicine, and the University of Liverpool. .
