Overview

About the course

The Genomic Medicine programme at the University of Oxford is designed to equip students from diverse academic and workplace backgrounds with knowledge of the fundamental principles, technologies and basis of genomic science and how this can be translated for the benefit of human health, economics and broader society.

The course seeks to promote:

a multi-disciplinary approach to genomic medicine that will provide students with the awareness and skill sets needed to engage with relevant specialists and technologies for the future development and delivery of genomic medicine;

insights into the processing, analysis, interpretation and delivery of genomic knowledge at all stages following data generation, both within bioinformatic and clinical care pipelines and at the end-user interface, critical for delivering the translational potential of genomic medicine; and

the concept of ‘gene to patient’ in its broadest sense, encompassing education and training on the wider impact of genomic medicine – for example on clinical trials, drug development and interface with the life sciences industry – and equipping students with the skills needed to develop this in the future.
