The CREiGS In-Person Curriculum
2026 Dates: TBD
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
2026 Dates: TBD

The online, asynchronous component of CREiGS allows participants to engage with the course material on a weekly basis at a time that is most convenient to them. Additionally, there are weekly lab sessions led by the teaching assistant(s) to reinforce the lecture material via applied, interactive lessons grounded in real-world examples from the peer-reviewed, scientific literature and using publicly accessible data repositories to ensure that participants are grasping the most important underlying concepts covered in the lectures. Participants will also have ample opportunities to ask questions during the weekly lab sessions and via real-time course communication channels. The eleven weekly asynchronous lectures will focus on the following four areas: Dimension reduction methods in scRNA-seq analysis (Weeks 1-2), K-nearest neighbor clustering and data integration (Week 3-5), Statistical methods used in scRNA-seq analysis (Weeks 6-8), and career development using public scRNA-seq resources (Weeks 9-11).
