Learning Outcomes
After completing BCHM 370, students will be able to:
- Assimilate the evolution and advancements in the field of genetics and genomics to understand how they permitted the mapping of genes contributing to human diseases, traits and drug response outcomes.
- Apply the basic principles of research methodology to develop biological hypotheses pertaining to the role or contribution of genetic factors in human traits and identify methodologies for testing such hypotheses.
- Reconcile the impact of genetic and genomic studies on the field to discuss the strengths and limitations of genetics studies and how this can affect progress in clinical outcome.
