SUMMARY:ELSI Friday Forum: Biosecurity in the Age of AI and Genomics
DESCRIPTION:Biosecurity in the Age of AI and Genomics\nwith speakers Jassi Pannu\, MD\, Gigi Gronvall\, PhD\, and moderator Stephanie Guerra\, PhD. \nThe convergence of AI and biotechnology is reshaping both the promise and the peril of biological research\, potentially increasing beneficial capabilities to achieve new therapeutics faster while also introducing new risks that nefarious actors could misuse of biology. Scientists have long considered and taken action to mitigate the dual use risks of biological materials. Recombinant DNA technologies increased the urgency of action. Now\, the advent of artificial intelligence\, in combination with more sophisticated genetic read and write capabilities necessitates rethinking of the moral obligations of scientists and policy makers. This session will describe the new types of risks enabled by combined data and biological technologies and discuss proposals for effective governance. \n\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:ELSI Friday Forum - Rigor\, Reproducibility and Responsibility: ELSI Questions in Population Data Practices
DESCRIPTION:Rigor\, Reproducibility and Responsibility: ELSI Questions in Population Data Practices\nwith speakers Anne Flanagin\, RN\, MA\, FAAN\, Genevieve Wojcik\, PhD\, MHS\, and moderator Aliya Saperstein\, PhD. \nAs large-scale genomic data sets are increasingly linked\, harmonized\, and repurposed across studies\, questions about how to meaningfully define and compare population descriptors have taken on renewed urgency. This panel brings together members of recent National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine committees and a leading medical journal editor that have offered guidance surrounding the use of population labels in biomedical research. Panelists will explore the scientific and ethical implications of existing classification practices\, the challenges of ensuring analytic rigor across studies that use heterogeneous descriptors\, and the responsibilities of researchers\, funders\, and journals in advancing transparent\, reproducible\, and scientifically rigorous practices. \n\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Event | Comparing Patient and Physician Attitudes About Applications of AI in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 6\n4:00—5:00pm ET\nRoper Hall 6310 or via Zoom\nPresented by Richard Sharp\, Ph.D.\nLloyd A. and Barbara A. Amundson Professor of Biomedical Ethics and Professor of Medicine\, Mayo Clinic\nDirector of the Biomedical Ethics Program\, the Center for Individualized Medicine Bioethics Program\, and the Clinical and Translational Research Ethics Program \nWhile artificial intelligence appears ready to transform multiple aspects of healthcare\, studies examining physician and patient opinions about digital-health tools have been limited. This presentation will explore physician and patient perspectives on the ethical issues raised by potential uses of AI in medicine\, focusing on areas where doctor and patient perspectives may not be in alignment and could generate ethical tensions. \nDr. Sharp has published widely on topics in biomedical ethics and has led several projects exploring patient and clinician perspectives on emerging healthcare technologies. His presentation will focus on stakeholder perspectives on several applications of AI in healthcare\, including in psychiatry and medical documentation. He will also discuss what leaders of Academic Medical Centers might do to proactively cultivate a culture of AI safety and ethical accountability. \nPlease register to attend. https://go.unc.edu/sharp

SUMMARY:Population Genomic Screening: From Biobank Return of Results to a Clinical Screening Pilot
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 6\, 2025\n12:00 – 1:00 pm ET\n\n\nLocation: Webinar: Registration Required\n\nJuliann Savatt\, MS\, CGC\n\nAssistant Professor\, Genomic Health\, Geisinger\nCo-director\, Geisinger MyCode Genomic Screening and Counseling Program \nPlease register to attend. https://go.unc.edu/jsavatt \nCurrently\, identification of individuals with genomic risk remains largely dependent on clinical testing that relies on a personal/family history of disease and\, access to specialty care. However\, some patients with suggestive history do not come to clinical attention. Also\, testing criteria are not adequately sensitive to identify all at-risk patients. Genomic screening offers a strategy to close the gap and identify more at-risk patients thus enabling increased surveillance\, primary prevention\, and early diagnoses. \nGeisinger has over 10 years of experience screening and disclosing actionable genomic findings to biobank participants and has expanded genomic screening into clinical care through a primary care pilot. This presentation will summarize these experiences to date including the rate of pathogenic/likely pathogenic results\, clinical care and outcomes following results disclosure\, and patient and clinician perspectives.
