MEDN69732 15 Semester 2 Postgraduate Taught Level 7 Drupad Trivedi Unit coordinator School of Medical Sciences 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 <p>Omics technologies beyond genomics are making significant contributions to Precision Medicine and digital pathology within the clinical laboratory. This unit will provide students with the background to how analysis of proteins and metabolites can be carried out to support clinical decision making. Centring around mass spectrometry, students will learn how different types of mass spectrometer, different technologies and different workflows can combine to solve challenges presented by precision medicine in the modern era. Students will learn biomarker discovery process from data driven approaches and how these are used in understanding pathophysiology of many diseases such as cancer, TB, asthma, Parkinson&rsquo;s disease and haemoglobinopathies. The role of -omics and mass spectrometry based workflows in digital pathology will also be elucidated in this unit.</p> <p>Omics technologies beyond genomics are making significant contributions to Precision Medicine and digital pathology within the clinical laboratory.
