Omics in Diagnostics

The final exam consists on the presentation and discussion of an experimental thesis based on data obtained by the student in a research or clinical omics laboratory. The thesis will be elaborated under the supervision of a faculty member of the Biomedical Omics Master Program. The main objective of the final exam is to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of the techniques employed in the research project and the ability to discuss critically the results obtained.

In the final exam the student must first present his/her results to a panel composed of 5 Biomedical Omics faculty members, and discuss both the methodological choices as well as the results obtained in order to demonstrate a robust knowledge on the different aspects addressed during the thesis work. Competences in scientific writing will be achieved during the writing process of the final dissertation. Experience in the oral presentation and discussion of scientific data will be acquired through journal clubs and data reports.
