Welcome

Welcome to EPI 552: Human Genome Epidemiology

Thank you for joining us this semester. Although our first few meetings will be online, we hope to be able to transition back to the classroom later in the semester, when student presentations will be an important part of each session. Lectures and student presentations will be recorded and posted on Canvas after each class, whether online or in person. We look forward to meeting you.

Course Description

In this introductory course, we will illustrate the use of epidemiologic methods to analyze and interpret genomic information at the population level. You will learn what kinds of epidemiologic data are needed to translate genetic discoveries for medicine and public health and how to review and evaluate such data in the scientific literature.

The class will meet for two hours each Monday afternoon via Zoom until it is possible to return to the classroom. Sessions will include lectures, discussion, and student-led presentations (beginning Feb 7). Background reading and homework assignments will be posted weekly.

Please see the Course Documents folder for additional information. The syllabus contains detailed information about the course content, homework assignments, student presentations and grading. The syllabus also lists relevant CEPH and Concentration competencies. The most current Lecture and Student Presentations schedules will always be displayed here. You will also find instructions for remote class participation via Zoom.

The course syllabus can be found on the Syllabus page. The course activities are found in Modules.
