Research on genomics and the application of genomics in clinical care is increasingly important. However, the law underlying genomics is currently unclear, poorly understood, and contested. This conference will present the efforts of the LawSeq project to map and shape the law of genomics and build a solid foundation for clinical integration. Principal Investigators, Working Group members, and other top legal and scientific experts have been compiling, collecting, and analyzing current US federal and state law and regulation on translational genomics. This event is an opportunity to hear their thinking on genomics medicine, learn about empirical research they’ve conducted, and inform consensus guidelines.
