Bachelor of Medical Sciences in Genomics and Precision Medicine

Macquarie University

Technological progress in genetics and computing is revolutionising our understanding of disease origins, processes and treatment. Experts in genomics and precision healthcare examine evidence-based medicine through an evolutionary lens, applying genetic insights to individualised care, and to the early detection and monitoring of disease. This innovative field bridges biology, technology and clinical application, driving innovations that are transforming healthcare and patient outcomes globally.

The Genomics and Precision Medicine major will develop your understanding of the molecular basis of major diseases, including cancers, heart disease, neurological disorders, infections and inflammation. You’ll explore how cutting-edge technologies in genomics, proteomics and metabolomics are revolutionising the way medicine is practiced. And you’ll gain expertise in assessing ‘omics’ data to predict disease development, monitor progression and personalise treatment. Together, your knowledge and skills will provide the foundation for a dynamic future in medical research and precision health.
