Genomics and epigenomics

Students will learn to:
- Master the role of genomic and epigenomic mechanisms in cellular homeostasis and diseases
- Understand the scientific context of genomics and epigenomics technologies (what type of questions can be addressed)
- Design and execute state-of-the-art genomics and epigenomics analyses
- Understand the technological potential and limits of the genomics and epigenomics approaches
- Design genomics and epigenomics experiments based on the specific medical or biological questions
- Carry out trouble-shooting and development of genomics and epigenomics analyses
- Interpret and report results from various genomics and epigenomics technologies (data analyses)
- Learn the medical potential of epi-genomic analyses, in terms of diagnosis, patient stratification, and medical research

Students will gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience in genomics and epigenomics analyses related to fundamental research and clinical applications. Key competences will include the ability to design experiments, manage work flow, analyze and interpret data and devise new strategies for further development in genomics and epigenomics research and experimental approaches. Training activities will provide specific skills in genomics and epigenomics and the necessary tools for the interpretation of results.
