Personalized, or precision, medicine is expected to be the new normal in medicine in the future. 

The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences has launched a new master’s degree in personalized molecular medicine that will train students in personalized medicine approaches and provide the knowledge and skills required to explore molecular medicine pathways.

Students will study the complex and integrated biological systems, and will receive firsthand experience in the use of technologies in next-generation sequencing, single-cell analysis, computational biology, epigenomics, proteomics, drug design, animal models of human disease, system approaches and instruction in mining human disease databases.
