During this Summer school we will explore basic and innovative techniques to investigate the genome, the characterisation, interpretation and validation of genomic variation and the clinical applications, including ethical aspects and case-based examples. The course is dedicated to those who are interested in using genomic technologies in basic science to understand the fundamental mechanisms of ectopic calcification as well as those interested in the diagnostic and ethical aspects of genome research.
Doelgroep
These courses are open to PhD students and early postdoctoral fellows.
