The aim of this course is to give students an introduction into internal exposome research. There is a specific emphasis on the use of molecular markers to characterize relationships with chronic diseases and exposures to environmental factors.
The course covers the following aspects:
- Introduction to the platforms that are available for the analysis of molecular markers in epidemiological studies
- Introduction to the considerations that are important when setting up a molecular epidemiological study
- Introduction to the statistical methods available for the analysis of molecular epidemiological studies
- Practical examples of molecular epidemiological studies.
These components are addressed in a series of lectures combined with a computer practical. Lectures are given by the coordinators of the course, supplemented by lectures by renowned national and international speakers. The computer lab is supervised by a team of local teachers.
