About the webinar

Large-scale population genomics initiatives are transforming how genetic variation is studied and how genomic data may support future research, healthcare and disease prevention.

In this webinar, Professor André Uitterlinden explores the Genome of Europe project, a major component of the European 1+ Million Genomes Initiative. The project aims to establish a representative European reference dataset by sequencing 100,000 genomes across participating countries.

The session discusses the development of shared genomic infrastructure, ethical and data-governance considerations, and how population-scale datasets may support applications including variant interpretation, genetic diversity analysis, imputation, pharmacogenomics and polygenic risk research.
