Francois Paillier

The revolution of High-throughput Sequencing opens the way to personal genomics for millions of people. This technical breakthrough now reaches a new bottleneck: The ethical management of Genetic Data Privacy. Three key concepts are introduced here to overcome challenges of Genetic Data Privacy and unlock the true potential of personal genomics both for the benefit of individuals as well as for public health.
