The advances in genomic and gene technologies have helped our lives in many ways, such as enhancement of disease diagnosis and treatment, therapeutics and crop improvements. This course aims to provide you with the principles and methodologies of recently developed genomic and gene technologies. Topics include high throughput next generation DNA sequencing and bioinformatics to decode sequencing data, comparative genomics, foreign gene transfer and expression systems in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. This course will also cover novel therapeutics and vaccines for humans and animals, pharmacogenomics and the implications of applying personalised medicine in human health. This course will equip you with advanced knowledge in the field, along with communication and critical thinking skills.
