SUMMARY:Facing up to the genomic gap: Tackling equality and diversity in genomics on
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of the popular Genetics of webinar series and will discuss the challenge of equality and diversity in genomic research and clinical settings and strategies to address this. \nGenomic research has traditionally been focused on caucasian populations\, which leads to inherent biases in genomic findings translated into clinical research. Underrepresentation of other populations in genomic datasets and biobanking endeavours leads to genomic medicine services being underutilized and inaccessible to these communities. \nDuring this webinar you will: \n\nUnderstand that genomic data is under-representative of many minority populations which has a direct impact on genomic research\nDevelop an idea of how the scientific community is trying to address this issue\nAppreciate the challenges of ensuring that diverse communities are able to access the genomic medicine service\nDescribe strategies that are being undertaken to try and improve genomic testing provision within diverse communities
