Massachusetts General Hospital
185 Cambridge Street, Boston

In this half-day nanocourse, offered collaboratively by the Harvard Catalyst Translational Genetics & Bioinformatics Program (TGBP) and the Clinical Research Program and the Center for Human Genetic Research at Massachusetts General Hospital, distinguished faculty will discuss the diverse ways pharmacogenetic studies have been conducted, from small translational studies to clinical trials to large-scale cohort studies. They will address key principles necessary for clinical researchers to design, conduct, and analyze such studies. Intended for clinicians, investigators, nurses, and other clinical research staff with an interest in genetics and genomics.
