Introduction to the 4th National Conference on Genomics and Public Health.
McBride CM , Bowen SM , Shully SD , Khoury MJ . Public Health Genomics 2012 15 117 This special issue of Public Health Genomics features a sampling of the | outstanding science presented at the 4th National Conference on Genomics | and Public Health: Using Genomic Information to Improve Health Now and | in the Future. The three-day conference sponsored by NIH and CDC and held | in December 2010 in Bethesda, Maryland, was attended by 700 participants. | The conference brought together public health scientists and practitioners | from around the world, who showcased the current state of the science and | considered future directions for applications of genomics to improve health. | The full breadth of these applications was highlighted, including interventions to prevent and control diseases, genetic services across the lifespan, | emerging genomic technologies that are anticipated in the near future and | the implications of globalization of public health for genomic applications. | The meeting sessions also offered a forum for the multiple constituencies | comprising the public health community to debate research and programmatic priorities for public health genomics as we look forward to 2020. | In this issue, we highlight twelve talks from the conference to exemplify | the controversies we face, promising opportunities to consider for potential | public health impact, genomics’ potential for intervention innovations, and | burning research questions to move the field forward. Opportunities abound | to consider whether and how emerging genomic discovery might be applied | to redress pressing public health problems. This is indeed an exciting time for | this young field. |
