2706 Exploring the Application of Genetics
multi-week ZOOM | Registration opens 1/6/26 10:00 AM
Genes! We all have them, but how do we use that information to take care of ourselves, catch criminals, and learn about our dogs? As a follow-up to the popular course Exploring the Basics of Genetics, we will expand on the basics of genetics and discuss specific tests like newborn screening, direct-to-consumer testing, and forensics. We will also cover recent topics such as gene therapies, ethics, and the COVID mRNA vaccines.
Moderators: Sarah Crawford, CGC, and Rachel Doberstein, CGC, are pediatric genetic counselors at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
