Graduate Certificate in Fundamentals of Precision Medicine

Programme Highlights*

Organised by the Department of Biochemistry, the Graduate Certificate in Fundamentals of Precision Medicine illustrates the understanding of the genetic basis of diseases, employing state-of-the-art OMICs and analytic tools to identify disease causing genes and biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis and developing genetic and genomic strategies to treat and mitigate diseases. It also illustrates how technological advances in analytical biochemistry have been providing increasingly detailed molecular descriptors of human health and disease.
