- Genomics - Global
Genomics is evolving rapidly, and its potential impact for the future of human health cannot yet be known Human genomics knowledge and technologies provide new ways to prevent and manage many diseases, and opportunities to achieve global public health goals Genomic knowledge of other organisms contributes to the understanding of human health and diseases, the interconnectedness across
- WHO releases new principles for ethical human genomic data collection . . .
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a set of principles for the ethical collection, access, use and sharing of human genomic data Created with guidance from the WHO Technical Advisory Group on Genomics (TAG-G) and other international experts, these principles establish a global approach to help protect individual rights, promote equity and foster responsible collaboration in
- WHO global genomic surveillance strategy for pathogens with pandemic . . .
Global genomic surveillance strategy for pathogens with pandemic and epidemic potential, 2022–2032 The Strategy provides a high-level unifying framework to leverage existing capacities, address barriers and strengthen the use of genomic surveillance in the detection, monitoring and response to public health threats Genomic surveillance is part of the broader surveillance and laboratory
- Online public consultation: Attributes and principles for genomic data . . .
Following from the WHO guiding principles for pathogen genome data sharing published in 2022, this new document describes desired attributes and principles for genomic data-sharing platforms supporting surveillance of pathogens with epidemic and pandemic potential
- WHO establishes communities of practice for pathogen genomics surveillance
The World Health Organization (WHO) and partners announced ten projects that will receive almost US$ 2 million in grants to improve capacities in pathogen genomic surveillance
- Guidance for human genome data collection, access, use and sharing
The WHO’s new document outlines a comprehensive set of globally applicable principles designed to guide stakeholders in the responsible collection, use, and sharing of human genome data This document serves as a key resource to navigate complex issues surrounding data governance, with the aim of fostering transparency, promoting equity, and safeguarding individual and collective rights
- International Pathogen Surveillance Network announces first recipients . . .
The catalytic grant fund was established by the International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN) to support partners from low- and middle-income countries to build their capacities in pathogen genomic analysis This technology analyses the genetic code of viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing organisms to understand, in conjunction with other data, how easily they spread, and how sick
- International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN)
The International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN) is a global network of pathogen genomic actors, brought together by the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, to accelerate progress in pathogen genomics, and improve public health decision-making Pathogen genomic surveillance is the monitoring and analysis of the genetic material (the genome) of pathogens, such as viruses
