Aim and content
This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD Students from NorDoc member universities. All other participants must pay the course fee.

Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from NorDoc member universities. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list.


Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

1.Knowledge (part 1): understand and discuss the fundamental principles underlying OMICS analyses including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and lipidomics as well as bioinfomatics.
2.Knowledge (part 2): understand and discuss key aspects of the methods, techniques and interpretation of applied OMICs analyses including i) the impact of genome variation on health and disease, ii) the potential applications of modern techniques to study genomic variation, iii) the strengths and limitations of translation of genome variation, iv) the application of RNA sequencing, v) the principles and application of transcriptomic profiling of tissue and single cells, vi) the application, characteristics and principles of proteomics, vii) the use of mass spectrometry for proteomic analyses and protein databases, viii) the characteristics and principles of metabolomics, ix) the basic aspects of bioinformatics including machine learning, integration of omic data and visualization.
3.Skills (part 1): Understand and discuss the fundamental aspects of studies using genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics in humans.
4.Skills (part 2): i) Critically evaluate results from studies of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics in humans, ii) Design an appropriate study evaluating OMICS in human diseases.
5.Competences (part 1): Understand and explain central aspects of key aspects of OMICS studies.
6.Competences: Understand and explain central aspects of applied OMICS studies (part 2).

Content
The main themes covered in the course are genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomic and bioinformatics. Part 1 covers the fundamental aspects and part 2 includes more detailed knowledge including applied OMICS studies.

Participants
Participants must be enrolled as PhD students at the Copenhagen University, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen.


Relevance to graduate programmes
The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH:
- All graduate programmes


Language
English

Form
The course is organized as an 10.5-hour online course (part 1) followed by a 3-day course with lectures (part 2). Both courses include exercises. We recommend that part 1 is completed before enrolment in part 2, but the two courses may be taken independently.
The plan is to record part 1 as an online course consisting of modules that may be taken by the students when it is convenient for them. This is done to increase the flexibility and will also make it possible for a larger number of students to enrol. Participants may enrol as soon as the course becomes available and complete the course at a date that suits them (similar to the MOOC format). At the end of each online module, participants have to compete multiple choice questionnaires to ensure that the course is interactive.

b>Dates
Part 1: the online course will be available in March 2023.
Part 2: will take place 10-11 May 2023.
The plan is to update part 1 annually and repeat part 2 once yearly.

Course location
Kommunehospitalet, University of Copenhagen

Registration
Please register before:
Part 1: 1 November 2022.
Part 2: 18 December 2022 (for the course in May 2023)
