Genome Health Analysis
专业介绍
Students in our MS in Genome Health Analysis program take part in courses offered by both NYU Langone’s Vilcek Institute Biomedical Sciences and Sarah Lawrence College’s Joan H. Mark Graduate Program in Human Genetics. The program, which culminates in a degree from NYU, is typically completed in two years and includes coursework, case-based skills labs, and a practicum for immersion in future work environments. With individualized coaching from faculty of both programs, students acquire competencies that can be successfully adapted to a variety of careers in personalized healthcare and genomic medicine.
Students also have opportunities to engage in interdisciplinary, collaborative learning with faculty and students at Sarah Lawrence College and NYU Grossman School of Medicine. All of these experiences help our graduates develop strong professional identities as change agents and valued members of interprofessional teams, which enables them to innovate new healthcare roles.
Upon successful completion of this program:
- Trainees will acquire deep and practical expertise in human genetics, genomics, and associated technologies, with an emphasis on bioinformatics and translational healthcare systems, and will gain competencies in human genome data analysis and translational care coordination.
- This program will train a new class of health professionals who will generate medically actionable genomic information from an individual’s genome and provide guidance to improve health outcomes.
- Students will be prepared to succeed in a number of roles in genetic and genomic testing companies and within the healthcare system, especially in roles that involve the interpretation of variants on human health upon genetic testing.
