Genetics of Metabolic Health

As cutting-edge genetic tools come to complement generations of observances on diet and metabolism, we find ourselves in a position more capable than ever to map the genetic and environmental components of metabolic health. In our course, we will couple content lessons with skill-building workshops to better understand metabolic health and the genetic factors that create inequalities within society. Each class will use an inquiry-based learning approach to guide student-driven workshops in current scientific skills, including genetic tools, statistical methods, and a rich review of the literature.
