Genomic Data Sharing Policies: Challenges and Innovative Solutions for Sharing Human Genomic Data

Event Details

Data sharing has been a central tenet of the field of genomics since the Human Genome Project. While many recognize that sharing genomic data is critical to scientific progress, considerable privacy and other concerns have been raised over sharing genomic data too broadly and openly. It is immensely challenging for institutions and countries to balance these benefits and risks while crafting genomic data sharing policies. In this session, the four panelists will describe evolving public perspectives on genomic data sharing and discuss current efforts to create and ensure new and improved genomic data sharing policies and practices on a global scale.
