Ethical Considerations in HIV Genetics Research From the International Perspective
REGISTRATION REQUIRED
9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
Renaissance Washington DC Downtown Hotel (Mount Vernon A/B)
HIV stigma and the attributes of the populations most affected make analysis and broad sharing of individual genomic information highly sensitive. This workshop will provide an overview of ethical considerations in HIV genetics research and a platform for domestic and international researchers to discuss common problems facing scientists performing genetics/genomics, vaccine, therapeutics, and eradication or “cure” research.
