ROUNDTABLE ON TRANSLATING GENOMIC-BASED RESEARCH FOR HEALTH

“医学研究所关于将基于基因组的研究转化为健康的圆桌会议汇集了来自学术界、工业界、政府、基金会、 协会，以及患者和消费者的代表，他们在解决围绕基因组学研究的翻译问题方面有共同的利益。圆桌会议的主要目的是促进跨部门和有关各方和机构之间的对话，并阐明和审查关键的科学和政策问题，圆桌会议的参与和投入将有助于推动该领域的发展。该圆桌会议探讨和实施通过将基因组学和遗传学研究成果转化为医学，公共卫生，教育和政策来改善健康的战略。目前的重点领域包括靶向治疗和诊断的发展，基因组医学的临床实施，健康信息技术，使用基因组信息进行医疗保健决策，下一代测序，使用基因组信息来产生临床实践和研究的知识，以及教育和伦理，法律的和社会问题。为了实现其目标，圆桌会议确定具体问题和议程主题，并进行结构化讨论、公共研讨会或专题讨论会，并发布研讨会摘要。"

"The Institute of Medicine’s Roundtable on Translating Genomic-Based Research for Health brings together leaders from academia, industry, government, foundations, associations, and representatives of patients and consumers who have a mutual interest in addressing the issues surrounding the translation of genomics-based research. The primary purpose of the Roundtable is to foster dialogue across sectors and among interested parties and institutions and to illuminate and scrutinize critical scientific and policy issues where Roundtable engagement and input will help further the field. The Roundtable explores and implements strategies for improving health through the translation of genomics and genetics research findings into medicine, public health, education, and policy. Current areas of emphasis include the development of targeted therapeutics and diagnostics, clinical implementation of genomic medicine, health IT, use of genomic information for health care decision making, next generation sequencing, using genomic information to generate knowledge for clinical practice and research, and education and ethical, legal and social issues. To achieve its objectives, the Roundtable identifies specific issues and agenda topics and conducts structured discussions, public workshops or symposia, and publishes workshop summaries."
