HPD 650 - Seminar Series: Clinical Applications of Molecular Medicine
This course will provide an overview of the field of molecular medicine, with a focus on cutting edge technologies related to the current and future clinical applications to improve early detection, to enhance diagnostic testing, to monitor treatments, and to counsel patients on their prognosis. As applied to clinical patient care questions, the specific molecular medicine topics discussed will include: DNA, RNA, proteomics, and chromosome assays. Pending the specific lecturers and topics coordinated, students will be introduced to a broad range of biomarkers for disease such as cancer, pulmonary/heart diseases, autism, and immune-related disease challenges. An emphasis will be placed in this course on learning how molecular markers can be applied in a clinical setting to augment the patient and provider decision-making process.
