Education to build genomics knowledge and skills in current and future scientists and clinicians.

 

One of the barriers to integrating genomics into health care is the specialised nature of genomic medicine.

Through a partnership with Queensland University of Technology, Queensland Genomics established the first Masters in Diagnostic Genomics in Australasia.

The new course is available for health professionals and researchers to enhance their knowledge of genomics.
