Webinar: The case of data reuse – ethical, legal, and societal issues in international genomic data access and sharing

Health data collected in cohort studies help researchers generate knowledge generation and advance biomedical research. But what happens when these data are used for something other than the initial purpose?

In this webinar, BBMRI social scientist Dr. Melanie Goisauf and health lawyer Emmanuelle Rial-Sebbag address  ethical, legal, and societal questions regarding the sensitivity of genomic data sourced from vulnerable and ethnic groups, such as African genetic data and material.
