Between stubborn threats to population health and the rapid pace of research and innovation, PHG’s mission, ‘to make science work for health’ is, if anything, more important now than it has been at any point in our history.
It has been a phenomenally busy period, even by PHG’s standards, which has resulted in some important and influential analyses of emerging health technologies, from polygenic scores to synthetic data, and the complex policy challenges they raise.
In between all the business as usual we were thrilled to welcome Dr Peter Mills as the new Director of the PHG Foundation. We also celebrated an important landmark – our 25th anniversary. We marked the occasion with a gala dinner and the policy summit where we took stock of the progress of genomics and related technologies, and the rules, policies, practices and institutions around them. We are looking ahead to the future with refreshed determination to make science work for health, for all.
