Transplantation Genomics: Ethics of Research and Clinical Applications, Organized by Tamar Schiff, NYU Grossman School of Medicine

Advances in genetic and genomic studies have identified an increasing number of novel biomarkers of potential use in transplant-related care. These include predictors of disease course, graft survival, response to immunosuppression, and likelihood of post-transplant disease recurrence or other complications. Future clinical applications of these genomic findings raise ever-growing considerations of the significance of genetic variants, fair access to precision medicine therapeutics, participation in research, ethical approaches to data aggregation and analysis, and social determinants of health. This conference will examine the unique ethical, legal, and social issues at the intersection of translational genomics and transplant clinical care, focusing on questions of utility, equity, privacy, consent, and adherence to best practices.
