-) Ability to correctly apply epidemiological techniques in the design of experimental and observational studies.
-) Ability to analyze structural genomics and gene expression data for the identification of genes related to mendelian and complex traits
-) Ability to use databases (ENSEMBL / NCBI) for genomic features annotation
