Genetics and Multiomics in Medicine MSc

Omics describes a range of analytical techniques (including genomics, metabolomics, proteomics etc.) that are essential contributors to the understanding of human disease and to the development of personalised therapeutic strategies.
This postgraduate degree uniquely combines the clinical and scientific expertise within the UCL Division of Medicine to train students in domains that are required by the recent developments in science and medicine but are rarely covered within one course.
It is aimed at students from a wide range of backgrounds, from scientists and statisticians to computer professionals and clinicians. The complex nature of the problems that are tacked by this area of medical sciences would be very appealing to students looking for a challenge.
Learning objectives
- Gaining advanced knowledge of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, phenomics with emphasis on their interrelations.
- Learning how to use computing resources, databases and other bioinformatic tools. Applying this knowledge to manage large datasets, aiming to solve clinical and scientific questions.
- Developing skills in communicating ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
