BDSI 8110 - Precision Medicine Informatics

3 Credits (3 Contact Hours)
Precision Medicine Informatics is the discovery of individualized treatments through the integration of biologic and behavioral data with the goal of providing better care to the individual. This course provides an overview of precision medicine informatics with a focus on cancer. It covers current initiatives and efforts to use health informatics to individualize care. The integration of heterogeneous data sets from different measurements such as the exposome, metabolome, genome, proteome, and other laboratory measurements is central to the goal of treating each patient as an individual in regard to precision treatment. As a use case, students do a detailed examination of precision medicine clinical trials in cancer. They also examine publicly available data to understand how high throughput measurement techniques are used and the methods that are applied to them to more precisely characterize cohorts of patients. Preq: BDSI 8010 .
