How will topics in the Medical Case Studies be chosen?
The Medical Case Studies are chosen to showcase those diseases (e.g., Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Deafness, Asthma, Depression and Bipolar Disorder, Hypertension) where bioinformatics and integrative genomics have together enabled a better understanding of the disease process, revealed distinct subpopulations within that disease classification, and/or contributed to improvements in diagnosis and treatment of that disease. These lectures are typically given by experts who also serve as research project mentors to our students.
