 With the completion of the human genome project, genomic and genetic research communities around the world have embarked on a new journey and continuing to push the frontier with second generation sequencing and personalised genome sequencing.
The speed and power of the new technologies will enable personal genomics and synthetic biology. These new fields raise new challenges and opportunities for society. HUGO Symposium on Genomics and Ethics, Law and Society, Sequencing of Individual Genomics: Impact on Society and Ethics will discuss the impact and potential consequences of personalised genetics on law, intellectual property, concepts of privacy, and social perception. It will be an important event for scientists, legal scholars, sociologists and ethicists to attend. The discussions will provide the framework for position papers on the subject.
