The Postgraduate certificate in Molecular Biology Tools for the Agnostic Approach to Rare Cancer will give the student the opportunity to start from scratch, reviewing concepts of molecular oncology in relation to genetics, epigenetics, ctDNA and RNA. Once these aspects are known, students will have in-depth knowledge of the study of tumor DNA, both in solid biopsy and liquid biopsy. The student will be able to study aspects of the genome, the exome and sequencing panels; and will be familiar with the available platforms and current applications. In addition, students will also be able to develop skills in germline DNA, becoming familiar with the concepts of variants and polymorphisms, delving into germline alterations.

Likewise, knowledge in the study of messenger RNA will be provided, developing in-depth content about the transcriptome, RNA sequencing panels (Nanostring) and Single cell  RNA. All this will be completed with epigenetic concepts: methylome and methylation panels, as well as non-coding RNA and chromatin modifications.

In this program, the experts, all of them referents in each area of knowledge, will develop aspects related to the context of this spectrum of pathologies, will present the clinical and molecular vision, will show their diagnostic and therapeutic approaches and will explain complementary aspects such as their research and institutional environment or the global reality of the patients who suffer from them.

In addition, students will be able to complete the program at their own pace, without being subject to fixed schedules or the travel involved in classroom teaching, so they can combine it with the rest of their daily obligations.
