Enrolment guidelines This is a specialised course. This means that 80% of the seats are reserved to PhD students enrolled at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH and 20% of the seats are reserved to PhD students from other Danish Universities/faculties (except CBS). The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD Students from NorDoc member faculties. 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 faculties. 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: acquire an understanding of the fundamental principles underlying OMICS analyses, including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, microbiota research and metagenomics, as well as bioinformatics. 2. Skills: understand and discuss the fundamental methodological and analytical aspects of studies employing genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, metagenomics, and bioinformatics approaches. 3. Competences: explain and interpret the central methodological, analytical, and translational aspects of OMICS research and to reflect on their scientific and clinical implications. Content This course introduces the scientific foundations of OMICS technologies in human health and disease. The curriculum covers genomics, genetic epidemiology, epigenetics; transcriptomics; proteomics; metabolomics and lipidomics; microbiota and metagenomics; and fundamental bioinformatic approaches. The emphasis is placed on methodological principles, study design, and data interpretation. Participants Participants must be enrolled as PhD students at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen.
