A Ph.D. in Clinical Genomics is a research program that focuses on the use of genomic technology to better understand hereditary disorders, disease processes, and personalized therapy. The program typically lasts 3 to 5 years and includes advanced studies in genomics, bioinformatics, molecular biology, and clinical research. Students perform research on genetic testing, gene therapy, and the significance of genetic variation in diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and neurological problems. In most cases, admission needs a Master's degree in genetics, biotechnology, or a related discipline. Graduates contribute to clinical research, diagnostics, and healthcare by working at hospitals, research institutions, or biotechnology companies.
