Hosted by Vivi Lin with guest Pandu Sastrowardoyo

What does equitable and trustworthy genomics research look like? How is the collection of genetic data monetized by large biotech corporations? How might individuals benefit from their own genetic code? While ownership and privacy are ubiquitous topics of concern across the healthcare and technology industries, for example HIPAA in the US and GDPR in the EU are designed to protect individuals from the misuse of personal data and ultimately give people choice in how that data is being used and monetized. Join Vivi and Pandu in a fascinating discussion about applying established Web3 design patterns to allow individuals to retain sovereignty over their most precious personal asset — their own genetic code.
