EU network for public health genomics gets underway

Modern research in genetics and molecular biology offers new opportunities for improving public health and for helping the authorities tackle common diseases. It is important to integrate – responsibly and effectively – genome-based knowledge and technologies into public health policy and national health services. A new European network, called PHGEN, hopes to clarify the main issues that this new field of science and medicine raises for public health authorities, Europe-wide.
