Clinical Bioinformatics

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This course will introduce the concepts of Systems and Network medicine approaches to understanding diseases. The course will integrate complex physiological processes and interactions with the human genome. This will aid in understanding Genomics in the context of human physiology. The course will provide a strong foundation for students with any background in the computational analysis and interpretation of biological data. The course is designed as a combination of lectures, hands-on sessions, and self-learning modules. The hands-on session will cover the use of several databases and tools for mining and extracting relevant physiologic data. Students will have the opportunity to understand informatics view of a diseases and how these are translated from bench to bedside.
