MED 212C: MTRAM Translational Technologies (TR): Translational genomics
This course is part of a three-quarter series (A, B, C) and complements courses offered as part of a master's in Translational Research and Applied Medicine (M-TRAM). (A: Fall: Biomarker Discovery; B: Winter: Translational Proteomics, C: Spring: Translational Genomics). In this quarter, students will learn the fundamentals of translational genomics, with the emphasis on single cell genomics. The topics will include library preparation, understanding the fundamental principles of the sequencing methods, types of single cell sequencing assays available and data analysis. The emphasis will be on how these methods are used to delineate immunologic cell types, their interactions with other cells in the local microenvironment and determining differential gene expression patterns and signatures. Lectures and labs will demonstrate how single cell immunogenomics are being applied to immunotherapy development. At its core, this course teaches the principles of genomics-based methosis and appreci

At its core, this course teaches the principles of genomics-based methosis and appreciating how the nature and type of data impact the analysis approach. This course is necessary to provide students with the broader skillset to conduct their MTRAM capstone project and adapt and grow in the field as technologies change. MTRAM students are required to take 3 units (lecture + lab). 1 unit course is lectures only (no lab).

MED 220: Bioethical Challenges of New Technology
How might we apply ideas from ethical theory to contemporary issues and debates in biotechnology? This course will provide critical encounters with some of the central topics in the field of bioethics, with an emphasis on new technologies. Controversies over genetic engineering, stem cell research, reproductive technologies, and genetic testing will provide an opportunity for you to critically assess arguments and evidence. We will begin with an overview of the field and the theoretical approaches to bioethics that have been derived from philosophy. You will then have the opportunity to engage in debate and learn how to identify underlying values and how to apply ideas from ethical theory to contemporary problems. Prerequisites: Must have active enrollment within the Master of Clinical Informatics Management program.
