Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular Genetics - Molecular Medicine and Human Genetics
在多倫多大學
關於課程
A new era in medical intervention is on the horizon, enabled by revolutionary advances in genetics and genomics. The Human Genome Project has changed our approach to biology and medicine. As the power of the genome sequence became evident, technologies have also rapidly advanced, allowing sequence data from individuals to be acquired at a phenomenal pace and at increasingly lower costs. Massively parallel sequencing (also known as next generation, or NextGen, sequencing) has ushered in the era of genomic and genetic medicine. Now, equipped with the genome sequence of a patient, scientists can diagnose genetic disease, identify future disease risk, home in on disease modifiers and predict responses to drugs.
Researchers in the Department of Molecular Genetics have led the world in identification of single genes that, when mutated, cause diseases such as cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, neurofibromatosis, and retinoblastoma. Now, researchers elucidate the more complex genetic basis of many multi-gene major disabling and fatal diseases including autism, muscular dystrophies, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and several kinds of cancer. The identification of disease-association genes and their products will facilitate a better understanding of their function, as it paves the way towards effective diagnostics, therapeutics and preventative measures.
