What Can Geneticists Do to Prevent the Misuse of Genomic Data? Part 2

January 26, 2024 -
1:00pm to 2:00pm

Panelists:
Benjamin Neale, PhD (Harvard Medical School)

Ashley Smart, PhD (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

Moderated by: Robbee Wedow, PhD (Purdue University)

Abstract: Recent, but reemergent misuses of genetic data and research remain a critical issue in the scientific and public spheres. While many scientists are concerned about how their own research might be misused by nefarious actors, training or advice about best practices in this area remains sparse. The first session provided a forum for the discussion of practical actions for scientists interested in preventing the misuse of genetic data and research by white supremacists and others. This second session will focus on addressing the misuse of genetic data and research once it has happened.
