This course focuses on personalized and precision medicine, an approach to treating diseases based on genomic information and other individual characteristics of each patient. We will examine the general concepts of personalized and precision medicine and discuss next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics analysis. In addition, the course will address the applications of genomics and how to integrate NGS into clinical care processes. It will also examine examples of diseases and treatments that have benefited from personalized medicine and discuss current challenges and limitations in the field.
