Talking Genomic Medicine and More

Science Progress is encouraged by the upcoming meeting of the Secretary’s Advisory Committee for Genetics, Health, and Society at the Department of Health and Human Services, saying that this sort of federal-level discussion of the future of genomic medicine is just what is needed. The SACGHS meeting tomorrow will run the gamut from comparative effectiveness research to sharing genomic data and Science Progress hopes that it will "[allow] scientists, policymakers, innovators, service providers, and patients to work together to ensure that this new era of medical innovation serves the common good by being safe, effective, efficient, and equitable."
