Welcome to Introduction to Genetic Epidemiology. This course will present fundamental concepts and methods in genetic epidemiology.

Over the course of the next 8 weeks we will be reviewing the basic terminology of genetics and introducing various genetic epidemiology study designs, covering basic analysis, inferences, plus their strengths and limitations. Course content will be presented through a series of lectures, the textbook and course readings. Lab exercises, Bulletin Board discussions and small group interaction will be an integral part of the course.

Thank you, enjoy the course, and please let us hear from you!
