Consumer Genomics

1D - Consumer Genomics: Direct or Indirect, Does It Really Matter?
(Attendance CEU 1.5)

Monday, October 9
10:15 AM - 11:45 AM

With the rise, fall, and re-emergence of consumer genomic testing we are seeing the field break into two segments. One which is initiated and driven by the consumer, and another that can be initiated by either the consumer or their physician, but must be ordered by the physician. Through independent talks and a panel discussion we would like to have an open conversation with the audience about the near future of consumer genomic testing, be it ordered at home or with the help of a physician.

Robert C. Green

Director, Genomes2People
Harvard Medical School

Robert C. Green, MD, MPH, of Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and the Broad Institute, is a medical geneticist and physician-scientist who directs the Genomes2People Research Program in translational genomics and health outcomes.

Dr. Green is accelerating the implementation of genomics into medicine by conducting empirical research on associated medical, behavioral and economic outcomes. He leads the first randomized trials of clinical genome sequencing in adults (the MedSeq Project) and newborns (the BabySeq Project), and was recently awarded the first research project on clinical sequencing of personnel in the US Armed Forces.
He has been continuously funded by NIH for over 26 years and has published over 300 scientific papers. In 2014, he won the Coriell Prize for Scientific Achievement in Personalized Medicine. His work has been repeatedly highlighted on NBC Nightly News, the Today Show, CNBC, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, New Scientist, FastCompany and Buzzfeed. He has forged research collaborations with Genomics England, Illumina, 23andMe and Google; advises a number of biotechnology and genomics companies, and has co-founded an investor-backed telemedicine start-up company, Genome Medical, Inc. He has been invited to speak at the World Science Festival, Forbes Healthcare Summit, Exponential Medicine, and South By Southwest.

Dr. Green graduated from Amherst College and the University of Virginia School of Medicine, and earned a Masters of Public Health in epidemiology from Emory University School of Public Health. He obtained specialty training at Harvard Medical School residencies and fellowships, and is board certified in both neurology and medical genetics.
