| Course Objectives: | The objective of this course is to provide information about the "omics" technology, especially focusing on genomics and proteomics. The recent applications of these areas and relevant bioinformatics background will be discussed. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Define the "omics" technologies. 2. Discuss the technologies behind genomics and proteomics studies. 3. Discuss the applications of both structural and functional genomics and also the proteomics studies. 4. Define basic information about bioinformatics. 5. Recognize the importance of these technologies in modern genetics. |
| Computational, molecular and genetic methodologies are covered including applications in structural and functional genomics (genome analysis and comparative genomics, technologies for transcriptional profiling), proteomics and related bioinformatics. |

| Program Outcomes | Level of Contribution | |
| 1) | Develop close interest in human mind and behavior, and attain critical thinking skills (in particular the ability to evaluate psychological theories using empirical evidence), as well as appreciating psychology as an evidence based science. | |
| 2) | Gain a biopsychosocial understanding of human behavior, namely, the biological, psychological, social determinants of behavior. | |
| 3) | Acquire theoretical and applied knowledge and learn about basic psychological concepts and perspectives | |
| 4) | Familiarize with methodology and data evaluation techniques by being aware of scientific research methods (i.e. correlational, experimental, longitudinal, case study). | |
| 5) | Employ ethical sensitivity while doing assessment, research or working with groups. | |
| 6) | Familiarize with the essential perspectives of psychology (cognitive, developmental, clinical, social, behavioral, and biological). | |
| 7) | Get the opportunity and skills to evaluate qualitative and quantitative data, write reports, and present them. | |
| 8) | Attain preliminary knowledge for psychological measurement and evaluation. | |
| 9) | To have a basic knowledge of other disciplines (e.g. sociology, history, political science, communication studies, philosophy, anthropology, literature, law, art, etc) that can contribute to psychology and to be able to make use of this knowledge in understanding and interpreting of psychological process. | 3 |
