Genomic Medicine with Data Science

There is a growing demand across the pharmaceutical, life and health sciences for skilled graduates with both biological knowledge and the computational and analytical interest to drive genomic precision medicine. From early diagnosis, to drugs based on our unique genetic codes, to disease prevention, this course aims to equip you with the skills needed to make a real-world impact.

Aimed at both professionals and graduates with a biological or medical background, you will gain the skills to use large volumes of complex data, encompassing genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, phenotypic data, epidemiology and clinical trial investigations, to improve the understanding of disease mechanisms. This will include the use of bioinformatic tools and statistical principles and methods that are foundational to artificial intelligence.
