Centre for Personalised Medicine: Recent Episodes
Oxford University
Welcome to the Centre for Personalised Medicine podcast, where we explore the promises and pitfalls of personalised medicine and ask questions about the ethical and societal challenges it creates.
The Centre for Personalised Medicine is a partnership between the University of Oxford’s Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics and St Anne’s College, Oxford. It is a communication, engagement and research vehicle for students, academics, clinicians, the public and policy makers to explore the benefits and challenges of personalised medicine. The Centre’s principal aim is to explore personalised medicine from a range of perspectives.
In the pilot series, we interviewed members of the Centre for Personalised Medicine advisory board about their careers and their views on personalised medicine.
In our current series, we speak to researchers in the Clinical Ethics, Law and Society group at Oxford and Southampton to hear about their work on the different ethical and societal issues within personalised medicine.
Rachel Horton and Sally Sansom from the CPM team discuss health economics with James Buchanan, Padraig Dixon and Sarah Wordsworth.
The CPM team discuss how interactions with healthcare systems are changing as health-relevant information becomes more accessible outside traditional clinical domains.
The CPM team discuss environmental sustainability in personalised medicine with Dr Gabrielle Samuel from King's College London.
The CPM team discuss the benefits and challenges of personalised prevention approaches with Dr Malte Gerhold from the Health Foundation.
What might it be like to navigate a genetic diagnosis and share it with family members? We talk to Julie Young from the CanGene CanVar patient reference panel about her experience.
As a society, we tend to focus a lot on risk and try to control it through regulation - but how well does that work for ensuring ethical practice in genomics? We talk to Dr Kate Lyle about her research on this topic.
What are the ethical challenges with diversifying genomic data? We talk to Faranak Hardcastle about her work exploring this.
We live our lives alongside others, and our decisions have consequences for those close to us - what does this mean for how we define 'the patient' in genomic medicine? Susie Weller talks to us about this issue.
What sort of findings might we get from newborn genome screening? What might this mean for the NHS? Rachel Horton talks to Gabby Samuel and Lisa Ballard.
In this episode, Dr Rachel Horton and Dr Gabby Samuel speak with Dr Lisa Ballard and Professor Anneke Lucassen about challenges in helping families share information about genetic risks.
In this episode, Dr Rachel Horton and Dr Gabby Samuel talk to Professor Anneke Lucassen about why the same genetic finding can mean different things for different people, and discuss what this means for ‘personalising’ genetic results.
In this episode, Dr Gabrielle Samuel speaks to Dr Rachel Horton and Dr Susie Weller about the negative environmental impacts of personalised medicine, and what this should mean for how we collect and store data.
