To provide students with a critical understanding of ‘omics’ technologies, their interpretation and application in key areas of healthcare and research.
Course Description
The master course introduction to omics is designed to give students insights into the molecular aspects of human genetics. The omics technologies adopt a holistic view of the molecules that make up a cell, tissue or organism. They are aimed primarily at the universal detection of genes (genomics), gene expression (transcriptomics), proteins (proteomics) and metabolites (metabolomics) in a specific biological sample in a non-targeted and non-biased manner
