Diversity in Health Data: Achieving Benefit for All

This episode of the Progress Educational Trust (PET) podcast explores what needs to be done – and why – to ensure that people of diverse ancestries and social backgrounds are represented in genomic data, and in health-related data more generally.

The discussion is chaired by Sarah Norcross (Director of PET), with contributions from:

⚫ Anika Ladva (Head of Community Engagement at Our Future Health)

⚫ Sasha Henriques (Researcher at Wellcome Connecting Science and at the Wellcome Sanger Institute)

⚫ Professor Segun Fatumo (Professor and Chair of Genomic Diversity at Queen Mary University of London)

⚫ Dr Divya Shanmugam (Researcher at Cornell Tech)

PET is grateful to Our Future Health for supporting this discussion.

PET is also grateful to Jon Nicoll, who created the opening and closing music for its podcast.
