Genomic Technologies in Clinical Diagnostics: Next Generation Sequencing
Understand new and established genomic sequencing technologies, and how to apply them in clinical practice.
Who is the course for?
This course is designed for scientists and healthcare professionals with an interest in obtaining a postgraduate-level understanding of genomic sequencing technologies.
If you are completing both Genomic Technologies in Clinical Diagnostics courses, we recommend that you complete Genomic Technologies in Clinical Diagnostics: Molecular Techniques first.
And if you are new to the field, we recommend that before you start either course, you complete The Genomics Era: the Future of Genetics in Medicine.
What topics will you cover?
