COURSE CURRICULUM

The Biochemistry and Medical Genetics MSc program offers a diverse range of advanced courses designed to deepen students' understanding of molecular and genetic processes related to human health and disease. Key courses include BGEN 7020: Proteins, which explores the structure and function of proteins essential to cellular processes. BGEN 7070 covers special topics in human genetics, providing insights into the latest research and developments in the field. BGEN 7090 and BGEN 7130 focus on the principles and practice of human genetics and genetic epidemiology of human populations, respectively, giving students a solid foundation in genetics research and population studies. BGEN 7180, Clinical and Molecular Cytogenetics, examines chromosomal abnormalities and their clinical implications. Topics in biochemistry are further explored in BGEN 7200, while BGEN 7250 focuses on gene expression and epigenetics, crucial for understanding gene regulation and disease mechanisms. Medical-specific courses include IMED 7120: Medical Biochemistry, IMED 7170: Medical Genetics, and IMED 7200: Cancer Biology, which provide specialized knowledge relevant to medical research and clinical applications. Together, these courses equip students with a comprehensive understanding of biochemistry and genetics, preparing them for careers in research, healthcare, and related fields.
