As more health economists become interested in evaluating genetic tests and exploring the consequences of genetic testing for other family members and insurance, many methodological and practical challenges are emerging. This seminar aims to provide a forum to explore the economic implications of genetics.
During the seminar original research and research in progress will be presented by paper and discussed. The seminar is a two-day residential event at St Anne’s College at the University of Oxford. The seminar organisers are: Dr. Sarah Wordsworth and James Buchanan (Health Economics Research Centre, University of Oxford), Dr. Katherine Payne (University of Manchester) and James Jarrett (University of East Anglia).
The seminar is aimed at researchers from the UK and international community involved in the health economic aspects of human genetics. PhD students are especially encouraged to apply. A registration fee of £70 is required from each participant. The seminar will be limited to a total of 30 participants all of whom will be expected to contribute as authors, discussants or chairs.
