Nihes organizes the following short courses - at introductory, intermediate and advances level - in genetic epidemiology:
Principles of Genetic Epidemiology (ESP43)
Genomics in Molecular Medicine (ESP57) close
| Molecular genetics plays an increasingly important role in medical research. The course addresses various molecular principles relevant for genetic epidemiological research. Different approaches to localize disease genes will be discussed. Cloning of disease genes will be discussed from the bench point of view and with the use of modern bioinformatical methods. The course is particularly interesting for clinicians and epidemiologists who wish to be introduced in methods for identifying (complex) disease genes and its practical applications and basic knowledge of molecular biology. Recommended book: Human Molecular Genetics, Strachan & Read, ISBN 0-8153-4184-9. Course materials: on flash drive. A laptop is required. | |
