GET Labs + Expo 2016

PersonalGenomes.org is a charitable organization working to generate, aggregate and interpret human biological and trait data on an unprecedented scale. Our mission is to make a wide spectrum of data about people accessible to increase biological literacy and improve human health. PersonalGenomes.org’s programs are informed by values encouraging greater transparency and collaboration between researchers and the public.Our programs include:1.Global Network of Personal Genome Projects, which includes research studies in 4+ countries that collaborate on the development and evaluation personal genomic technologies and practices at increasing scales.http://personalgenomes.org/organization/network2.Open Humansattempts to break down health data silos through an online portal that will connect participants willing to share data about themselves publicly with researchers who are interested in using that public data and contributing their analyses and insight to it. We aim to make it easy for anyone to participate in research projects and to facilitate highly integrated, longitudinal health data.http://openhumans.org/3.Genomes, Environments and Traits (GET) Conference, an annual event that brings together leading thinkers to discuss how we measure and understand people and their traits. This event explores the frontiers of understanding about human biology and serves as an annual forum to debate the technical, commercial, and societal impacts. Each year we host world-class speakers and examine a host of issues at the bleeding (and spitting and swabbing) edge of knowledge.http://www.getconference.org/

Our goal for GET Labs and Expo is to further cultivate the ecosystem of participatory health research in two ways:
1. By bringing together people who want to advance science and human health through direct participation in research.
2. By creating a forum for people with solutions and experience in this space to share their knowledge, network, and showcase their know-how, tools/platforms, and services.
