About the Course

This course will provide you with the key knowledge and tools to understand the fundamentals and practical implications of precision medicine, its opportunities and challenges. It will address precision-medicine era diagnostics, treatment selection, genetic counseling, public health interventions, and biomedical research. It will also deal with data science and ethical issues. From genomic analysis and genetic counseling to cancer biomarkers, from risk assessment of chronic diseases to the understanding of gene-environment interactions, from pharmacogenomics to multi-omics data integration, experts will walk you through the many aspects of precision medicine, from the bench to the bedside and to population health. Designed for students with a bachelor-level training in life sciences, this course will also be useful for professionals who are increasingly expected to deal with precision medicine, including primary care physicians and other first-line healthcare professionals, cancer and non-communicable diseases specialists, public health policy and decision makers, as well as biomedical researchers and drug developers. Experts from the multiple domains of genetics and genomics, oncology, pharmacology, data sciences, ethics, and biomedical research will provide you with a comprehensive, multi-faceted overview of precision medicine, richly illustrated with practical examples and clinical case studies, and peppered with formative evaluations. Whether you are interested or intrigued by topics such as “genethics”, the analysis of exome sequencing, precision diabetes management, hereditary cancers, the ongoing revolution of genetic technologies, genome-exposome interactions, the pharmacogenetics of opioids, data deidentification, blockchain-base patient-consent documentation, or proteomics and biomarkers, this course will explain the concepts, offer insights and present concrete examples, thus providing you with an overall understanding of the rapidly evolving field of precision medicine. - update - The contents of this course have been updated and important corrections have been implemented thanks to learners' feedback.

To be honest, this course was one of the most effective online education that I have ever watched. I hope the advanced course of Percision Medicine will be presented in the futre. Thank you...

A comprehensive but still manageable course for 'non experts'. Interesting and inspiring - from a range of well-versed researchers, medical and academic professionals.

Way too much information and not enough conceptual focus as I think you tried to tackle a very complex topic in too much detail. The multiple answer questions in particular tested more your understanding of comprehension and the nuances of language than the concepts with a lota of ambiguity in choices.

This a very poorly designed course. For example, the course presents many fictional hypothetical case studies instead of actual cases. Thus, it is very difficult to relate the fictional cases to to real life. It is very difficult to follow the lectures because they are presented in non-grammatical English. Some sections are in French when the course is supposed to be in English. The tests are poorly designed, confusing, and badly worded. Overall, a waste of time.

A lot of unnecessary quiz with 1 question. It looks like the designer assumed 4-5 year old kids are taking this course. Not happy with the process, but fine with the scientific material.
