From Biomarkers to Human Genome Editing- A Prescription to Research

For more information or to schedule this course, please contact Stephanie Roth <stephanie.roth@temple.edu>.

Understanding genomic medicine can be very complicated, it can be even more complicated when tasked with a research question. It is no mystery to unravel why patrons, researchers, and even clinicians are also confused. This course is a great introduction to genomic medicine for the beginner and provides help in understanding the latest trends and research in genomic medicine. Librarians will leave confident with new ideas on how to use opportunities in genomic medicine to create a new research service or improve existing research services in a variety of library settings.

Learning Objectives

1. Participants will be able to understand the basics of genomic medicine.
