Abstract: Personalized medicine (PM) is often portrayed as the new paradigm of modern medicine. It by no doubt represents a fast-growing field in patient care globally, both in the private and the public sector. Genomics and related ICT-based technologies are core to PM, meaning that it can also be said to be part of a digitalization mega-trend.

What challenges are these novel developments posing in relation to biobank governance? The speaker intends to engage the audience in an active dialogue around the likely practical impacts of identified challenges.
