Clinical Epidemiology
by Diederick E. Grobbee , Arno W. Hoes- 4.8
Approx. 13 hours to complete
Evidence forms the basis of modern medicine. Clinical research provides us with this evidence, guiding health professionals towards solutions to problems that they face in daily practice. Transferring existing problems in medical practice to a research setting is a challenging process that requires careful consideration. Core concepts will be introduced along four key themes: diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and etiology....

Visual Perception and the Brain
by Dale Purves- 4.7
Approx. 14 hours to complete
Learners will be introduced to the problems that vision faces, using perception as a guide. The course will consider how what we see is generated by the visual system, what the central problem for vision is, and what visual perception indicates about how the brain works.

Epigenetic Control of Gene Expression
by Dr. Marnie BlewittTop Instructor- 4.8
Approx. 17 hours to complete
While the human genome sequence has transformed our understanding of human biology, it isn’t just the sequence of your DNA that matters, but also how you use it!

Metagenomics applied to surveillance of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance
by Ana Sofia Ribeiro Duarte , Tine Hald , Sünje Johanna Pamp , Patrick Munk , Liese Van Gompel , Valeria Bortolaia , Pimlapas Leekitcharoenphon- 4.7
Approx. 15 hours to complete
The field of metagenomics and whole community sequencing is a promising area to unravel the content of microbial communities and their relationship to disease and antimicrobial resistance in the human population. Bioinformatic tools are extremely important for making sense out of metagenomics data, by estimating the presence of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance determinants in complex samples....
