HUMAN GENETICS, MOLECULAR MEDICINE DIAGNOSIS AND CLINICAL-OMICS

Genetics and Molecular Medicine sets out to demonstrate the recent advances in the field of human genetics. The course Human Genetics, Molecular Medicine Diagnosis and Clinical OMICS will describe how mutations in the genome arise, how they are detected and how knowledge of mutations informs on disease mechanisms.

The course will also cover the clinical applications of human genetics including, molecular phenotyping and genetic approaches to treat disease. The course covers novelty areas of research and implementation concerning diagnosis by conventional strategies to next-generation platforms and new therapeutic strategies.

The content of the course consists of thirteen units:

1. Principles of Mendelian genetics and basic concepts in Molecular Biology
2. Epigenetics in Health and disease.
3. Genetic counselling
4. Molecular diagnostic Techniques
5. New challenges in genetic based therapy. Gene editing techniques and their applications in gene therapies and regenerative medicine
6. Pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine
7. Genome-wide association studies and its role in the identification of genetic variants in human diseases
8. Interaction of genes with diet
9. The role of in silico analysis, databases and multi-omics of single-cell which will help in designing better clinical management strategies.
10. Biochemical Genetics and metabolomics
11. -13. Case report studies
