Over the past few years, remarkable technological progress in the field of pharmacogenomics (PGx) has been achieved. Towards the end of the last century the expression of 'personalized medicine' has come to life.

This simply means the right drug for the right patient with the right dose. This field was fueled up by the publication of the Human Genome project in 2001.

There are very few programs in Egypt or Lebanon that make use of online education using IT and elaboratories. This kind of smart learning programs facilitate the education process and make it suitable for the greatest numbers of target groups outside the Egyptian and Lebanese borders.

The planned project is a two-years postgraduate academic program. The first year includes a diploma with 8 courses (two modules of 60 ECTS). The diploma is targeting students with different educational backgrounds such as pharmaceutical and medicinal postgraduates. The second year is optional and leads to a master degree (60 ECTS; online courses with 30 ECTS and 30 ECTS thesis). Online as well as in-class courses will be offered. The e-labs will be designed to simulate experiments that would require expensive equipment. The consortium will target to apply for the Egyptian and Lebanese accreditation.
