Ethics and decision-making

Students will learn to master the role of genomic and epigenomic mechanisms in cellular homeostasis and disease; understand the scientific context of genomics and epigenomics technologies (including the types of questions they can address); design and execute state-of-the-art genomics and epigenomics analyses; understand the technological potential and limitations of genomics and epigenomics approaches; design genomics and epigenomics experiments based on specific medical or biological questions; carry out troubleshooting and development of genomics and epigenomics analyses; interpret and report results from various genomics and epigenomics technologies (data analyses); and understand the medical potential of epigenomic analyses in terms of diagnosis, patient stratification, and medical research.

Students will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in genomics and epigenomics analyses related to fundamental research and clinical applications. Key competencies will include the ability to design experiments, manage workflows, analyze and interpret data, and develop new strategies for advancing research and experimental approaches in genomics and epigenomics.
