The MRes in Genomic Medicine addresses the perceived skills deficit in data science and computational skills that is common in many postgraduate students. MPhil by research students typically require extensive up-skilling to be able to accomplish computational projects in the area of Genomic Medicine, typically meaning little can be accomplished in the time frame available. However, the MRes in Genomic Medicine will first equip research students with the skills necessary to undertake computational genomics projects through a taught programme, followed by students utilising these skills to plan and complete a research project. The route to develop skills required for genomic research is under national discussion and one suggestion from this is the focus on postgraduate courses providing data science skills. It is hoped the MRes in Genomic Medicine will contribute to the training of scientists to work within the framework established by Genomics England and the NHS Genomic Medicine Service.

The overall educational aims of the programme are to:

provide a research environment where students can learn the practical skills required for performing research in Genomic Medicine;
prepare and upskill students with the most up to date computational and bioinformatic knowledge for performing genomic research;
develop students independent research skills and understanding of research methodologies and clinical opportunities relevant to genomic medicine;
develop researchers competence in using genomic and data science technologies for biomedical research;
prepare students for either higher study (PhD/MD) or career roles in a research-intensive environment in genomic medicine-related fields;
develop a cohort of students who are proficient in the wide variety of research skills necessary to plan and deliver Genomic Medicine research projects;
encourage a commitment to intellectual challenge and evidence-based clinical practice informed by the latest conceptual and theoretical knowledge of genomic medicine;
develop students' intellectual, practical and transferable skills related to genomic medicine;
encourage critical thinking related to genomic medicine;
develop good scientific practice and record keeping;
increase employability in the local genomics industry centred around Cambridge, where data science skills are highly valued;
provide professionally relevant teaching and learning informed by research in an integrated clinical and research environment;
conduct systematic literature reviews relevant to their research areas;
equip students for entry into health care professional training schemes including postgraduate entry medicine courses;
provide training for clinician scientists who wish to work on data produced from Genomics England and the NHS Genomic Medicine service as part of the diagnostic and treatment pathway
