Learning outcomes

"At the end of the course the student: • understands the principles of functional genomics and integrative approaches to study gene regulation, expression, and interaction networks; • is able to critically analyze how genetic modification (knockout, knockdown, overexpression, CRISPR-based editing) affect cellular and organismal phenotypes; • functional dissection of biological processes of interest using animal model systems • acquires familiarity with large-scale genomic datasets (transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics) and how to integrate them for functional insights; • develops the ability to interpret results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and functional validation pipelines; • gains skills to apply bioinformatics tools and integrative analysis frameworks in order to connect genotype with phenotype in biomedical and biotechnological contexts.
