This course covers the use of biomarkers in social science research, focusing on social exposures, biological processes, and their interaction. Students will learn about biomarkers related to height, weight, respiratory lung function, and cardiovascular risk factors. The course also includes topics such as using Omics data, epigenetics, transcriptomics, and network analysis in social sciences. Additionally, it explores the influence of teenage behavioral and psychological characteristics on disease risk in middle age. The teaching method involves lectures and practical applications. This course is intended for researchers and professionals in the social sciences looking to incorporate biomarkers into their research methodologies.
