Summer Institute ”Genetics, Ethics and Clinical Translation”
22-25th June 2010, Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands
This four day intensive course was held at the Zuiderduin Hotel in The Netherlands from the 22nd to the 25th of June 2010.
The course was designed for professionals who want to learn more about the ethical, legal and societal implications of the translation of epidemiological results from genetic and genomic research to clinical practice.
The Summer Institute offered insight about issues and solutions applicable to the field, and gave participants the opportunity to actively interact with the lecturers through debates and working group sessions.
3 main topics were covered:
- Introduction to translational research and ethical, legal and societal issues in biobanking,
- Implications of genetic testing, personal genome and personalized medicine,
- Engaging stakeholders and society.
The faculty gathered world-known experts whose work reflects broad international experience.
The Summer Institute was jointly organised by the ENGAGE Consortium (European Network for Genetic and Genomic Epidemiology), the Centre for Society and Genomics (CSG) and P3G (Publication Population Project in Genomics).
