RD&E celebrates Healthcare Science Week
16th March 2016
It’s Healthcare Science week from 11th -20th March and here at the RD&E, staff from Molecular Genetics and the 100,000 Genomes project will be on hand in the Oasis staff restaurant from 12-2pm Monday 14th March to Thursday 17th March to answer any questions you might have about the 100,000 Genomes project. The project has already sequenced 7306 whole genomes and the work of the South West Genomic Medicine Centre is progressing and gathering pace with cancer participants now being recruited. There is lots of information, news and updates available at http://www.genomicsengland.co.uk/the-100000-genomes-project/ and http://swgmc.org/.
It will also be a chance to find out more about the exciting new opportunity coming to the University of Exeter in September to study the Health Education England-funded MSc in Genomic Medicine. This degree will be available to study part-time from September 2016 or you can choose modules of particular interest that will contribute to your CPPD, a PGDip or PGCert. It is currently available at several universities across the country. More information is also available at http://www.exeter.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/medicine/genomicmedicinemsc/.
