Course Details
• Evolutionary Biology Fundamentals: Understanding the basics of evolutionary biology, including natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation.
• Genetic Architecture of Complex Traits: Exploring the genetic mechanisms that underlie complex traits, with a focus on human health.
• Comparative Genomics and Phylogenetics: Examining genomic data from multiple species to understand evolutionary relationships and identify conserved genetic elements relevant to human health.
• Molecular Evolution and Adaptation: Understanding the evolutionary forces that shape genetic variation within and between populations, with a focus on medically relevant loci.
• Epidemiology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases: Investigating the evolutionary dynamics of infectious diseases and their impact on global health.
• Evolution and Cancer: Examining cancer as an evolutionary process, including the genetic and ecological factors that contribute to tumor progression.
• Evolutionary Medicine: Exploring how evolutionary principles can inform medical research and practice, including the prevention and treatment of diseases.
• Microbiome and Human Health: Understanding the composition and function of the human microbiome, and its impact on health and disease from an evolutionary perspective.
• Ethics and Policy in Evolutionary Medicine: Considering the ethical and policy implications of using evolutionary principles in medical research and practice.
