Genomics and precision medicine represents a growing area of science and medicine. A greater understanding of the role a person’s genes, behaviors and environment plays in their general health is becoming an increasingly important part of the global healthcare and biomedical research ecosystem.

Upskilling and diversifying the skillsets of a generation of life scientists, biomedical scientists and healthcare professionals to effectively understand utilize this data driven approach is essential to realizing this transformation. Students will be taught the fundamentals of clinical and translational research, applications in clinical diagnostics and Biomarker development and how precision medicine is being applied in the areas of oncology, drug development and infectious disease.

The program will be delivered by clinical and scientific experts from UCD, experienced Bioinformaticians and computer scientists, statisticians and experts in public health as well as industry leaders in precision medicine. This program is applicable to life sciences graduates and healthcare professionals, wishing to pursue careers in industry, academia and in clinical settings.
