Today, genomics and gene technologies play a vital role in our lives, such as their role in enhancement of disease diagnosis and treatment, therapeutics and crop improvements. This course aims to provide students with the principles, methodologies and applications 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. We will also cover novel therapeutics and vaccines for humans and animals, pharmacogenomics and the implications of applying personalised medicine in human health. The course will equip you with advanced knowledge in the field, along with communication and critical thinking skills.
