Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY

The in-person phase of CREiGS takes place over a two-day period (Monday and Tuesday) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai directly prior to the online curriculum. This phase of CREiGS serves to provide participants with intensive, hands-on, interactive instruction in R that will complement the online curriculum. Over the two days, participants will get the opportunity to network with CREiGS faculty and participants and engage in special topics lectures in clinical genome science. Special topic areas to date have included: rigor and reproducibility in genomics research, building knowledge graphs from biomedical research, decision analysis and cost effectiveness in genomics research, and web-based resources for GWAS.

 

The CREiGS Online Asynchronous Curriculum
August 19, 2024 - November 1, 2024

The online, distance learning, component of CREiGS consists of asynchronous lectures to allow participants to engage with the course material on a weekly basis at a time that is most convenient to them. Additionally, there are weekly, interactive virtual office hours to ensure that participants are grasping the most important underlying concepts from each week’s lectures. The eleven weekly asynchronous lectures administered by faculty experts will focus on the following four areas: Introduction to Genetics and Genomics, Quantitative Methods for Analysis of Genetics and Genomics Data, Computational Tools and Data Management, Engaging Diverse Communities in Genetics and Genomics Research.
