Medicine in the Genomic Era

With the mapping of the human genome and the continuous discovery of new genes, protein shapes and functions, epigenetic controls and other exciting findings from the world of human DNA research, the future of medicine will be an exciting time indeed!

To give you a flavor of what researchers have been up to, to see what is possible now, and to imagine the future, you will watch the 2013 HHMI Holiday Lecture titled, Medicine in the Genomic Era.  Use the link below to go to the appropriate HHMI web page.  Once you are there you should click on the large image to the left of the summary to access the videos.  There are 4 one-hour parts to the series and you should watch all four and take notes on each one.  You will need those notes to complete an assignment for a grade. You will have the remainder of this week, all of spring break, and several days after spring break to watch the videos.  The videos do not work from school, so plan accordingly!
