Stein Institute Presents: Consumer Genomics: What Do People Do With Their Genomes?
What do recent studies reveal about peoples’ reactions to DNA tests? What should you do if a DNA test shows that you a have a gene variation related to a common disease? Are there risks associated with genetic testing?
Please join us for our next public lecture as we welcome Cinnamon Bloss, PhD, who will present “Consumer Genomics: What Do People Do With Their Genomes?”
Dr. Bloss is an Assistant Professor at the Scripps Translational Science Institute (STSI) in La Jolla, California. Her research is funded by the National Institutes of Health and is focused on investigating individuals’ behavioral and psychological responses to disclosure of genomic risk information for common, complex diseases. She is the lead researcher on STSI's Scripps Genomic Health Initiative, and her work on this project was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine and has been highlighted at a number of national and international scientific meetings. She has also presented invited testimony on consumer genomics before the Food and Drug Administration Advisory Panel.
