ELSI Congresses

  • The biennial ELSI Congress provides a dedicated, regularly scheduled meeting for researchers focused on the ethical, legal, and social implications of genetic and genomic research and its translation into clinical care. This page is an archive of recorded presentations that took place at the most recent ELSI Congresses, which were co-organized by the Division of Ethics at Columbia University and the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics with support from the National Human Genome Research Institute.

    The 6th ELSI Congress will take place in New York City from June 10-12, 2024.
