Data protection in an era of consumer targeted genome sequencing

This symposium brings together legal specialists in Data Protection and social science experts on direct to consumer genetic testing. It aims to inform discussions on all aspects of data protection and direct to consumer genetic testing: legal; ethical; and social.

There will be ample opportunity for discussion and it is run in conjunction with the geuvadis (genetic European variation in disease) EU project that is particularly concerned with high-throughput genetic sequencing. 

Call for presentations:
10 min presentations on any legal, ethical or social aspects of data protection, genome sequencing or direct to consumer genetic testing are invited.
Abstract (250 words) should be submitted to scientificprog@brocher.ch
