Global Genomics Programme Phase 2 – Roundtable 2

Building upon the first phase of this Global Genomics series, the second phase will explore the repeatedly raised questions and issues surrounding the need for equity in genomics, both in terms of access and return.

As an important starting point, we need to explore what we really mean by equity of access and return. Is that purely building a more diverse and globally representative dataset? Is it about creating capacity within specific communities? Is it about changing the mindset of how the various elements of the genomics ecosystem interact with each other, whether they be from the research community, the clinical community, industry, or the public sector?
