đź“… 24th May 2025 | đź•’ 11 AM – 12 Noon
Registration Link: ICGA Webinar Episode 2
Organized by: ICGA Foundation | CHIP Foundation | ECHO India
About the Webinar
India’s rising cancer burden calls for a paradigm shift—from reactive treatment to proactive public health strategies rooted in precision and prevention. Genomics, by decoding the molecular basis of disease, holds the key to transforming how we detect, prevent, and treat cancer—particularly in resource-limited settings.
The ICGA Foundation, in partnership with CHIP Foundation and ECHO India, presents Episode 2 of the ICGA Webinar Series—a high-impact panel discussion focused on mainstreaming genomics within India’s public health ecosystem. Experts from genomics, public health, clinical biochemistry, and epidemiology will share insights on translating cutting-edge research into scalable national programs.
Objectives
To explore actionable strategies for integrating genomics into India’s public health framework for cancer control—spanning prevention, early diagnosis, and precision therapy—while addressing barriers related to access, equity, ethics, and implementation.
