Next generation sequencing has had a profound impact on biomedical research. Clinicians and scientists seeking to stay abreast of the field may be challenged by the rapid rate of genomic discovery and technologic advancement. The Genomic Medicine Center, with support of the NIH, offers a four-day CME/CEU program in translational genomics.

Topics include:

Technical and analytic aspects of DNA and RNA

Variant analysis

Gene regulation and epigenetics

Polygenic Risk Scores

Clinical and ethical implications of genomics

The course features hands on workshops to teach NGS analysis skills, including analysis of long read HiFi genomes.

A unique aspect of the program is the opportunity for enrollees to have genomic sequencing completed on themselves.

Participants can use the resultant data file as they learn variant identification and characterization. This strategy, known as Personalized Genomic Educational Testing (PGET) is optional and provided at no additional cost.

This program is supported by the NHGRI Initiative to Maximize Research Education in Genomics: Courses for Skills Development (R25) program.

Dec 04 11:00 AM • KU Medical Center Campus Beller Conference Rooms 1001 & 1003 KU Medical Center Collaborative Research Luncheon: Transitioning Beyond Animal Models? The event will feature: A brief presentation by Dr. Hubert Tse on the changing funding landscape and scientific trends. An opportunity to discuss and hear about innovative approaches and alternatives to animal models. Join Drs. Nathan Culley, Andrew Godwin, Melissa Larson, Allison Neely, Russell Swerdlow, John Thyfault, Darren Wallace and Scott Younger to learn more about what their lab or core is currently working on to explore alternatives to animal models. A semi-structured conversation designed to foster cross-disciplinary learning and inform future resource development. This is a space for mutual learning—for us to learn from you, and for faculty to learn from each other. Your voice will help shape how the University of Kansas supports researchers in this transition. Registration is required by November 21. We hope you’ll join us in moving research forward.
