|
The Jackson Laboratory & Johns Hopkins University, Bar Harbor, Maine July 13 - 25, 2003 This two week course includes daily lectures in the mornings and evenings supplemented by afternoon mini-symposia, workshops tutorials, and demonstrations. There is special emphasis on student-faculty interaction. The faculty is diverse in terms of disciplines and the students in terms of stage of career and fields of concentration. This diversity makes for an exciting experience for all. Although the course schedule is busy, there are opportunities to enjoy the natural beauties of Mt. Desert Island including hiking, biking, and kayaking. The content of the Short Course focuses on (1) an up-to-date presentation of genetics in experimental animals and humans, (2) the relationship of heredity to disease in experimental animals and humans, and (3) the importance of molecular genetics in the diagnosis and treatment of inherited disorders. The development and uses of modern techniques in bioinformatics, mathematical genetics, genome manipulation, mutagenesis, and phenotyping are taught in lectures and in afternoon workshop sessions. As in the past, the Short Course includes an implicit focus on translational biology and clinical applications. Special emphasis in this year's course is on ethics, neuroscensory disorders, and genome diversity. This course is a joint effort of Johns Hopkins University and The Jackson Laboratory. The curriculum consists of morning and evening lectures, supplemented by afternoon mini-symposias, workshops, tutorials, and demonstrations. Topics Include: History of medical genetics |
