From Disease to Genes and Back
by Gert Matthijs , Yurii Aulchenko , Michel Georges , Marianna Bevova , Lennart Karssen- 4.7
Approx. 44 hours to complete
Most human diseases have a genetic component. You will learn about current approaches for finding single genetic variants underlying monogenic (Mendelian) diseases and sets of variants responsible for more complex, multifactorial ones. Furthermore, you will learn how the identification of these genetic variants makes it possible to understand how the affected biological pathways lead to disease development....
Mind of the Universe - Genetic Privacy: should we be concerned?
by Lotte Pet , Robert Zwijnenberg- 4.1
Approx. 14 hours to complete
Should all our genetic information be made public in order to eradicate genetic diseases from this world? Who owns your genetic data once it becomes publicly accessible? What is your responsibility to family members when you know more about genetic diseases than they do? Introduction: Why should we talk about genetic privacy?...
Precision Medicine

Easing the burden of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease
by Stephen Simpson- 4.6
Approx. 16 hours to complete
It shows how all chronic diseases (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer) are related by a set of common causes, and that such diseases should be tackled, not individually, but as part of a complex system, with interrelated contributing factors. Module 2 - The Big Non-Communicable Diseases...
Bioethics: The Law, Medicine, and Ethics of Reproductive Technologies and Genetics
by I. Glenn Cohen- 0.0
10 Weeks
We will also explore potential future technologies and their implications for society: genetic enhancements to increase our intelligence, let us live a hundred years longer, or make us immune to diseases – and the possibility of creating animal-human hybrids, for example a mouse with a humanized brain. The law and ethics of mixing human and animal genetic material...
