The Genomic Medicine course offered a uniquely wide range of academics and professionals to learn from, many at the forefront of the NHS's genomics revolution. I got the oppurtunity to engage with practicing genomic counsellors, renowned bioinformaticians, and research scientists specialising across the entire field of genomics.
The focus on practical work and applied understanding brought me to the point where I can take a sequenced genome and derive real understanding from it, a skill with growing demand in the era of affordable sequencing. Furthermore, the basic programming skills I derived from the course are invaluable for my current work as a cell biologist.
I can't thank the staff enough for the support they offered me through practice interviews, academic references, and a research project which gave me the experience I needed to progress onto my PhD.
