On Friday 30 November, Prof. Bartha Knoppers will present highlights from from a special issue of Human Genetics on international Genomic Data Sharing (published in August 2018). Led by the Centre for Genomics and Policy at McGill University, the special issue on Genomic Data Sharing points to the great potential for genomic data in revolutionising healthcare. Utilising critical insights from seven jurisdictions on questions of international data linkage and harmonisation, Prof. Knoppers will reflect on whether harmonisation is an impossible dream.
