M. Sc. Clinical Genomics

The program offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics, and molecular diagnostics, providing a solid foundation in both theoretical and applied aspects of clinical genomics. Students will receive training in advanced techniques such as PCR methods including Conventional PCR, Real-Time PCR, and Digital PCR, along with sequencing technologies like Sanger Sequencing and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), as well as flow cytometry that are essential for clinical and research settings. Specialized courses cover emerging areas including pharmacogenomics, artificial intelligence in diagnostics, stem cell biology, and infectious disease genomics. The curriculum places a strong emphasis on the clinical application of next-generation sequencing (NGS), variant interpretation, and genomic data analysis, along with training in ethics, data privacy, and responsible research conduct. A two-semester research dissertation encourages scientific inquiry and innovation. The program also offers flexible exit options, including a one-year Postgraduate Diploma and a full two-year M.Sc. degree, making it accessible to students from varied academic backgrounds and career goals.
