The Farmington Campus, home to The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, specializes in human genomics and computational biology. Educational initiatives here target advanced training in genomic technologies for personalized medicine, integrating computational and wet-lab approaches to tackle complex diseases.
- Human Genomics and Variant Analysis: Courses focus on next-generation sequencing (NGS), variant calling, and interpretation using tools like GATK and ANNOVAR for identifying disease-causing mutations.
- Single-Cell Genomics: Hands-on workshops with 10x Genomics platforms, covering scRNA-seq data analysis, clustering, and trajectory inference for studying cellular heterogeneity in cancer and immunity.
- Precision Oncology: Training in tumor genomics, liquid biopsies, and pharmacogenomics to develop targeted therapies, including case studies on BRCA and EGFR mutations.
- Computational Biology and Machine Learning: Programs teach Python/R programming, deep learning models for predicting protein structures, and AI applications in drug discovery.
- Epigenomics and Regulatory Networks: Exploration of ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, and enhancer mapping to understand gene regulation in development and disease.
- Population Genetics: Courses on admixture analysis, GWAS, and polygenic risk scores using large cohorts like UK Biobank.
- Clinical Genomics Pipelines: Practical sessions on building automated workflows for variant prioritization and reporting in clinical settings.
- Bioethics in Genomics: Discussions on equity in genomic research, consent in biobanking, and implications of direct-to-consumer testing.
