What is Genomics?

Genomics studies the complete set of DNA in an organism and how its parts work together. In healthcare it supports diagnosis of rare and inherited diseases, cancer profiling, pharmacogenomics (how genes affect drug response) and population health research.

The work combines laboratory methods, such as DNA extraction, PCR and sequencing, with bioinformatics, the computing methods used to analyse the data.

Choose a partner university tied up with Apollo Healthcare Academy (see our partner universities), train at a nearby Apollo hospital or one of our partner hospitals, and get hands-on experience, career guidance and job and placement support from AHA. Your partner university awards the degree.
