iBSc Healthcare Genetics & Genomics at King's College London

Our health is shaped by complex interactions between our genetic makeup, lifestyle and environment. Genomics is transforming how we understand these interactions and how we diagnose, prevent and treat disease. From rare disease and cancer to cardiovascular disease, infection, neurodevelopment and mental health, genomic information is increasingly being combined with clinical and other health data to understand individual differences in disease risk and response to treatment.

What you will study

Genomics is increasingly relevant across traditional disciplinary and specialty boundaries. It informs areas including oncology, paediatrics, neurology, cardiology, infectious disease, reproductive medicine, psychiatry and population health, with growing applications across dentistry and veterinary medicine. In the UK, NHS England has placed genomics at the centre of its future healthcare strategy through the NHS Genomic Medicine Service and the ambitions of the NHS 10-Year Health Plan for England: Fit for the Future .
