Bachelor of Medical Sciences (3 years) - with a major in Genomics and Medical Informatics

Macquarie University

Technological progress in genetics and computing is revolutionising our understanding of disease origins, processes and treatment. Scientists in this field examine evidence-based medicine within an evolutionary genetic framework, and apply genomics to precision medicine for patient care and to predict and monitor disease development and treatment.In the Genomics and Medical Informatics major, you’ll gain in-depth knowledge of the molecular basis of global diseases and approaches to current treatments. You’ll set your career on track with the ability to investigate and evaluate current and emerging technologies in genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, and their application in medicine, along with the ability to evaluate ‘omics’ in predicting and monitoring disease development and treatment.
