Webinar-LawSeq: Facing the Legal Barriers to Genomic Research & Precision Medicine
December 2, 2020
8:00am - 12:45pm Pacific
Webinar Only (All agenda times are Central time)
Genetics and genomics are becoming crucial to clinical care. As the "precision medicine" revolution spreads, cancer treatment, rare disease diagnosis, and cardiac care increasingly use genomics. Unfortunately, law and policy lag behind science, and the law governing genomics remains unclear and contested.
This is the third event from the LawSeqSM project, an NIH-funded project to shape the law of genomics and build a solid foundation for clinical integration. This event will be a highly interactive meeting of multidisciplinary experts to share their analysis of US federal and state genomics law and policy to recommend changes in order to support successful integration of genomics into clinical care.
