Precision medicine, also referred to as personalised or individualised medicine, is the tailoring of interventions for the prevention and treatment of disease to the individual characteristics of a patient. This includes individual variability in genes, environment and lifestyle, for each person.
The complete sequencing of the human genome and advances in genome sequencing has facilitated the development of precision medicine and its movement beyond the genome and into the entire spectrum of molecular medicine. Precision medicine holds promise for improving many aspects of health and healthcare.
Genomics and Precision Medicine will cover foundational aspects of the structure of DNA, genes and gene function, genetic inheritance, genome sequencing and the structure and function of the human genome. It will also cover some of the ethical, social, and legal issues associated with precision medicine approaches. Current examples and applications of precision medicine will be used to highlight the benefits and challenges of the technology.
This microcredential aligns with the 2 credit point subject, Genomics and Precision Medicine (60003) in the Master of Science (C04241) or Master of Medical Biotechnology (C04390).
This microcredential may qualify for recognition of prior learning at this and other institutions.
This microcredential is designed for anyone wishing to learn about how the genomic era is changing medical science and patient treatments, including healthcare professionals, science undergraduates and non-specialists.
