Save the date for upcoming courses by the Harvard Catalyst Translational Genetics Program
Posted October 8, 2009
The Harvard Catalyst Translational Genetics Program has announced the 2010 schedule for its “Genetic Code” and “Genetic Literacy” courses. These courses - offered collaboratively by Harvard Catalyst, the Center for Clinical Investigation at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the Clinical Research Program at Massachusetts General Hospital - are available to all members of institutions affiliated with Harvard Catalyst.
These courses are not yet open for registration; Harvard Catalyst will make additional announcements once registration is open.

What’s a SNP? What’s the HapMap? What is a microarray and is it used for genotyping or gene expression analysis? What’s an association study (and why do they do it)? If you find yourself asking similar questions, come to this course designed to briefly describe the terminology, technologies, and methodologies of modern genetics.
Together with “A Primer on Complex Trait Genetics,” “Genetic Code” and “Genetic Literacy” form a three module courses series that covers both general and specialized topics in translational genetics, and which is designed to better acquaint clinicians and scientists with the tools ant technologies of genetics and related fields.
CME credits are available for all three courses.
