Plenary Discussion, Keynote by Professor Andrew Lakoff, University of Souterhn California.
Panel 1. Closing the Gap in Health Inequalities – is Genomics Part of the Solution?
Panel 2. Personal Genome Project (PGP)-UK and Genetic Privacy

Panel 4. Emerging Molecular Diagnostics – Challenges to Widespread Implementation
Panel 5. Genetic Discrimination and Genetic Identities in Non-Western Societies
Panel 6. Bioinformation Economies: Benefits and Insecurities for Genomic Global Health
From a global health perspective, the translation of genomics into new medical treatments also raises profound international and local issues of inequality, identity and insecurity. This interdisciplinary conference brings together experts from the fields of policy, research, industry, foundations, journalism, and non-governmental organisations in order to assess how the rise of genetic and genomic challenges has begun to shape to the field of global health, and what new challenges it poses for global health policy.
