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

MED 213: The Digital Future of Health Care
Digital health tools, technologies, and services are poised to fundamentally reshape how patients and physicians interact. COVID-19 has only accelerated this transformation. In this weekly seminar series led by clinicians, digital health investors, and entrepreneurs, students will explore various digital health technologies and their impacts across the entire healthcare ecosystem, today and tomorrow. Application areas include: telemedicine, AI, wearables, social/behavioral interventions, and healthcare at home. In addition, discussions will cover the creation process of digital health solutions, the stakeholders involved (ranging from individual patients to healthcare enterprises), and the opportunities and challenges in the implementation of these solutions within healthcare's unique regulatory, organizational, cultural, and ethical contexts.
