Event: International Symposium on Genetic Testing
Master data
| Title: | International Symposium on Genetic Testing |
| Description: | This Symposium provides a forum for discussing wider social aspects of genetic testing in current medical practice. In particular ethical perspectives and implications for health care policy will be debated. Furthermore recent dynamics in the diffusion of new diagnostic technologies will be addressed. A specific focus of the symposium will be on newborn screening and the introduction of tandem-mass-spectrometry. Finally, individual experiences with genetic diseases will be explored. The symposium is the concluding event of a three year research project on “Genetic Testing: Diffusion–Frameworks of Application–Identity and Ethical Reflection” funded by the Austrian Genome Research Programme. The symposium will be of interest to all those carrying out research on ethical, legal, and social aspects of genetic testing and is open to colleagues in the field carrying out related research projects. |
