Virtual Cancer Genomics Short Course for Undergraduates

About the Virtual Short Course

This free, two-week virtual learning opportunity is intended for undergraduate students interested in exploring the field of cancer genomics and learning the impact of genomics on cancer diagnosis and treatment.

During one-hour live sessions held on Zoom, you will learn from experts in the field about the biology of cancer cells, approaches used to study cancer genomes, clinical and research careers.

Students may opt to interact with peers virtually through course discussion boards and engage more deeply with the content through knowledge checks to earn a Certificate of Completion.
