This workshop will explore the main challenges to statistical approaches in improving fairness in genomics and genomic medicine. We will host a series of panel discussions, each focusing on a different aspect of genomic medicine, featuring international experts from across academia and medicine.

The workshop is open to all with an interest in using data-driven approaches to improve fairness in genomics and we greatly welcome participation from a broad range of backgrounds and disciplines.

Workshop aim

The aim of the workshop is to identify the main barriers to

1. Understanding the cascading effects of inequities in genomic data and in the design and development of statistical models

2. Detecting / quantifying unfair biases and the effects on inequities in genomic medicine
