About Individualized Genomics And Health, Master Of Science in Johns Hopkins University

Individualized genomics and health is a rapidly growing area of research and applied science. The growth is due in large part to the increasing dependence on DNA and RNA sequence analysis of human and microbial genomes for diagnosis and treatment of disease. This emerging field requires a workforce with multi-disciplinary skills in bioinformatics, bioscience, regulatory science, policy, and ethics. The goal of this degree program is to produce a highly skilled workforce with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to meet the demands of the academic, research, and business communities.

As the field of individualized genomics and health requires practitioners to have multiple competencies, the core of the Master’s degree will include foundation courses in epigenetics, human molecular genetics, ethical, legal and regulatory aspects of individualized genomics, bioinformatics, and individual genome analysis. After completion of the core requirements, students may choose to concentrate in Laboratory Diagnostics, Genomics, Regulatory Science or Policy, or choose a general concentration.
