Genetic Epidemiology Foundations
The University of Colorado Denver is presenting this course in partnership with the Vanderbilt Genetics Institute at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the International Genetic Epidemiology Society. It is intended to give students the background and knowledge foundations required to undertake statistical analysis of genetic association research data. Dr. Nancy Cox will present the history of genetics research; Dr. Bruce Weir will present foundational concepts in population genetics; Dr. Todd Edwards will present population structure in genetic association studies; Dr. Goncalo Abecasis will present quality control in genetic studies; Dr. Celia Greenwood will present an analysis of population-based case-control association studies, and Dr. Celia Greenwood will present an analysis of population-based case-control association studies. This 6-module course also includes concept examples and reference books.
Todd Edwards is a genetic epidemiologist conducting research on the genetic determinants of complex human traits. He works extensively with electronic health record data to develop cohorts for genetic association studies. He also works on cardiovascular traits such as blood pressure and hypertension, colorectal cancer, and women's health traits, and in general, he is interested in studying traits with large racial disparities in incidence, average value, or severity. Stephanie A. Santorico is a Professor and Associate Dean at the University of Colorado-Denver. She has a track record of impactful research in statistical genetics and genomics as well as in the development of educational programs in statistics and genetics. She is interested in understanding the genetic factors that contribute to complex traits, including translational research working towards disease subtypes that could inform medical treatment. This is one of the best online genetics courses.
