Epigenética no Desenvolvimento e Hereditariedade (NAU)

Desenvolva conhecimento na área da epigenética direcionado para as alterações epigenéticas globais que ocorrem durante o desenvolvimento embrionário e alterações epigenéticas associadas à Hereditariedade Epigenética Transgeracional. O curso de Epigenética no Desenvolvimento e Hereditariedade pretende desenvolver e aprofundar o conhecimento na área da epigenética, anteriormente abordado no curso de Introdução à Epigenética.

A Epigenética permite a diferenciação celular em células de tecidos com a mesma informação genética através da alteração hereditária de expressão de genes ou fenótipos que não envolvem alterações na sequência de DNA.

A reprogramação de marcas epigenéticas, incluindo o imprinting genómico, permitem o correto desenvolvimento do embrião e garantem a continuidade da descendência. No entanto, este processo representa também o maior obstáculo no conceito de Hereditariedade epigenética transgeracional.
Com este MOOC irá aprender as principais marcas e mecanismos epigenéticos associados à reprogramação epigenética e imprinting genómico, particularmente a metilação de DNA, e ainda reconhecer o potencial de modulação de marcas epigenéticas induzido por fatores ambientais com transmissão à descendência através da hereditariedade epigenética transgeracional.
O extraordinário potencial e aplicabilidade da epigenómica fomentam uma necessidade crescente de enquadrar esta área emergente da ciência no contexto do laboratorial clínico, para a qual, atualmente, a oferta de ações formativas é ainda diminuta.
Comece a sua formação com o Politécnico de Lisboa e descubra os processos-chave da epigenética.

Data and Health Indicators in Public Health Practice (Coursera)

Epidemiology is often described as the cornerstone science in public health. Epidemiology in public health practice uses study design and analyses to identify causes in an outbreak situation, guides interventions to improve population health, and evaluates programs and policies. In this course, we'll define the role of the professional epidemiologist as it relates to public health services, functions, and competencies. With that foundation in mind, we'll introduce you to the problem solving methodology and demonstrate how it can be used in a wide variety of settings to identify problems, propose solutions, and evaluate interventions.
