Presentation title
“Translational Justice and Health Disparities Research in Genomics”

Traditional models of clinical translation of genetic therapies have focused on metrics of safety, efficacy, and cost. However, wide disparities in the use and benefits of genetic medicine suggest that these metrics have not been successful in guiding equitable translation. We propose a fourth metric and present examples of how it can be operationalized.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Understand possible gaps in existing metrics for medical translation approval.
2. Recognize potential alternatives to translational criteria.
3. Theorize future translational pathways that might more accurately address issues of justice.
