Specific entry requirements
Learning outcomes After the completed course, the participants will be able to describe the basic mechanisms of functional regulation in non-disease cases from the gene level to the protein level, and at metabolite level, and compare and relate these to dysregulation in disease. The participants will be able to describe and critically evaluate the weaknesses and strengths of the different genomic technologies used in functional regulation studies.
Contents of the course Functional regulation in non-disease cases and dysregulation in diseases at gene level (genomic variation (SNPs), transcriptional variation, transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional modifications, epigenomics, methylation, ncRNA, protein level (post-translational modifications) and at metabolite level. Novel technologies in gene level and protein level studies. Understanding development and disease through genomic technologies.
Type of teaching The course consists of lectures, discussion and seminars.
Examination The students will examined for knowledge and skills, individually based on the active participation in discussions and groupwise with seminar presentations.
Compulsory elements The discussions and seminars are compulsory. Absence from compulsory parts is compensated according to the instructions from the course leader.
Number of students 10 - 15
Selection of students Selection is based on the relevance of the course content for the doctoral project, and the personal motivation letter to attend the course.
More detailed information The course is given in collaboration with the RIKEN Omics Science Center (http://www.osc.riken.jp/english/). The faculty consists of invited speakers from the RIKEN Omics Center and Karolinska Institutet. The course director is Dr. Carsten Daub at the RIKEN Omics Science Center. The course takes places at CMB seminar room A216, at KI Solna campus. Entrance Berzelius v 35.
