DESCRIPTION:The Beyond the Genome working group is pleased to announce Beyo
 nd the Genome: ethical aspects of large cohort studies\, a one-day symposi
 um at the University of Antwerp on February 3th\, 2023. \n\nThe symposium 
 will focus on the shift from curative medicine to preventive and personali
 zed medicine. This requires the collection\, storage\, and processing of l
 arge personal datasets. The new GDPR in the European Union protects the pe
 rsonal data of European citizens. This has been applied to genomics\, yet 
 there are many other different -omics that may or may not contain relevant
  personal data. With a special focus on proteomics. The symposium will foc
 us on raising several important ethical questions and privacy risks based 
 on the ethical\, legal\, and societal implications (ELSI) framework. This 
 symposium aims to inform scientists and ethicists\, as well as people with
  an interest in privacy regulations and participatory medicine. \n \nRegis
 tration is mandatory and can be done via the following link: https://www.u
