Lainie Friedman Ross - Chair of the Department of Health Humanities and Bioethics, University of Rochester

Join University President Sarah C. Mangelsdorf to learn about the vision for the next chapter of the University and how we aim to further position Rochester as a global leader in higher education, research, and health care. The program will feature remarks from our exceptional alumni and faculty.

Featured Speaker
Lainie Friedman Ross, Chair of the Department of Health Humanities and Bioethics

Professor Ross will share insights into her research on ethical and policy issues in genetics and genomics. It once was thought that when we decoded the genome we would know everything there was to know about a person. We were wrong. In this talk, Ross will discuss why we are more than our genes and the implications this has for personalized medicine.

There are risks and benefits to the participation in full contact sports. The decision making process raises ethical issues, particularly when the athlete is a minor. Parents and physicians may evaluate the risks differently which also raises interesting questions about counseling and decision-making.
