About the Course

Learn how advances in biomedicine hold the potential to revolutionize drug development, drug treatments, and disease prevention: where are we now, and what does the future hold? This course will present short primers in genetics and mechanisms underlying variability in drug responses. A series of case studies will be used to illustrate principles of how genetics are being brought to bear on refining diagnoses and on personalizing treatment in rare and common diseases. The ethical and operational issues around how to implement large scale genomic sequencing in clinical practice will be addressed. After completing this course, learners will understand 1. The ways in which genetic variants can contribute to human disease susceptibility 2. How to choose among drug therapies based on genetic factors 3. That the functional consequences of the vast majority of genetic variants discovered by modern sequencing are unknown. This course is targeted primarily at physicians 5+ years out of training. Other healthcare providers, medical/health sciences students, and members of the public may also be interested. Course launches January 15, 2016. * The information presented in “Case Studies in Personalized Medicine” is offered for educational and informational purposes only, and should not be construed as personal medical advice.

The Personalized Medicine course on Coursera is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning more about this exciting and rapidly-evolving field. The course is well-structured and provides a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and technologies that underpin personalized medicine.

The course content is presented clearly and concisely, making it easy to understand even for those with no prior background in medicine or genetics. The lectures are delivered by experts in the field, who provide real-world examples and case studies to illustrate the key concepts.

The course covers various topics, including genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics. It also explores the ethical, legal, and social implications of personalized medicine, which is an increasingly important aspect of this field.

One of the strengths of the course is the use of interactive quizzes and assignments, which allow learners to test their knowledge and apply the concepts they have learned. This approach helps reinforce key concepts and ensures learners stay engaged throughout the course.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Personalized Medicine course on Coursera to anyone interested in this field. The course is well-designed, comprehensive, and engaging, making it an excellent resource for healthcare professionals and anyone interested in learning more about this exciting area of medicine.
