Foundations of Genomics

Start learning the language behind precision care.

A gene variant means little on its own. Its significance depends on the pathway it belongs to, the other findings around it, and what’s happening in your patient’s life.

This free course introduces Mansoor Mohammed’s framework for making those connections. Learn to distinguish what a genetic finding tells you, what it leaves unanswered, and how to bring it into a clinical conversation alongside symptoms, history, and labs.

What you'll learn

Read beyond an isolated gene. Understand how genetic variation can influence proteins and pathways, and why a single finding rarely tells the whole story.

Separate the blueprint from what's happening now. Distinguish genetic variation from gene expression and the physiology you observe in your patient.

Organize the findings. Use the Genomic Portrait framework to connect information across pathways.

Bring the patient into the interpretation. Consider biomarkers, medications, lifestyle, and environment alongside genomic information.

Explain what the findings mean. Build the vocabulary to discuss genetic tendencies without presenting them as a diagnosis or a predetermined outcome.


These are the skills you'll build on as you move into hormone care, the body-system modules, and precision peptide integration.

Your starting point.

Cost: Free

Format: Online and self-paced

Prior genomics training: None required

Work through the core concepts, see how they apply in clinical examples, and check your understanding before moving into the applied courses.

Take the next step toward precision care.

Once you understand the language, start applying it. Continue into male or female hormone genomics, where you'll connect the foundational framework to hormone production, signaling, metabolism, and clearance.

Choose an individual course for $299, or pursue the full Clinical Genomics Certification for $1,999 to work through all eight modules with implementation support.
