Target group

-Advanced Bachelor
-Master
-PhD

Biomedical students at any level starting from the Advanced Bachelor (Medicine, Pharmacy, Biochemistry but also other related areas) which are willing to apply the methodology of personalized and precision medicine into their clinical or research practices, but also for those interested in understanding the most advanced techniques and protocols applied for tailored diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of human diseases.

Course aim

After this course you are able to:

- Understand the complex human genomic structure, either at the static or the dynamic levels.
- Translate the human genomic context into specific diagnosis and treatment for a given disease by using specific methods of analysis.
- Utilize specialized databases for the retrieval of genomic data and translate them into Pharmacogenomics and Pharmacogenetics applications.
- Understand the basic principles governing the rational drug design, RNA-based therapeutics, gene editing systems and artificial intelligence platforms and their applications for tailored diagnosis and treatments.
