Based on a standard curriculum in human genetics, each chapter equals one practical unit of the course and topics range from basics in human inheritance to genetics in major disease clusters and from bioinformatics and personalized medicine to genetic counseling. Das erste Laborhandbuch der Humangenetik. Jedes Kapitel behandelt eine Praxiseinheit. Die Themen reichen von den Grundlagen des menschlichen Erbgutes über die Genetik von Krankheiten, webbasierte Ressourcen, Bioinformatik und Individualmedizin bis hin zur genetischen Beratung.
Bahar Taneri is a Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), Famagusta, Cyprus. After obtaining her Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Sciences, from The Rockefeller University, New York, USA in 2005, she has taught several Genetics and Genomics modules at EMU, where she has founded the Molecular Biology and Genetics undergraduate program. At EMU, she has served as the editor-in-chief of the University Research Newsletter for two years. She has also been chairing the Department of Biological Sciences since 2013. She is an affiliated Researcher of Institute for Public Health Genomics, Department of Genetics and Cell Biology, Faculty of Health, Medicine & Life Sciences at Maastricht University, Netherlands since 2011. She authored several publications in the field of genome biology and personalized medicine; and received several awards including a Fulbright Scholarship. Currently, her main research interests include human genomics, epigenomics and efficient translation of personalized genome-based findings into healthcare and medicine for prediction and prevention of common complex diseases. She is a founding member of the Medical Biotechnology Master's program at EMU, where she teaches modules including Genome Editing. Esra Asilmaz is currently a Locum Consultant in Gastroenterology and General Internal Medicine at Homerton University Hospital in London, UK.
