As researchers, it is important to keep in mind the clinical relevance of our work. In these sessions, participants will work together in small groups to analyze genomic research data utilizing publicly available online tools. This nano-course will encourage participants to create links between foundational and clinical science and apply patient date to their own works. Throughout the sessions, participants will also learn about research and clinical careers that they may be interested in pursuing.
Session I: June 28th in TMEC 128 (2 - 5pm)
Session II: June 28th in TMEC 128 (2 - 5pm)
Through team-based active learning, participants will:
- Use online tools such as CIVIC, OncoKB, COSMIC, ClinGen, PolyPhen and GnomAD to interpret clinical genomic data
- Discuss the factors that are involved in the decision to perform genetic testing
- Determine the clinical significance of a genetic variant in relation to cancer susceptibility
- Effectively search for research trials related to genomic data
- Learn about potential clinically-oriented careers for Ph.D. level scientists
