Present **SPACE IS LIMITED TO 100 REGISTRANTS** While the development of genetic sciences has advanced faster than ever in the past decade, issues about ethics and legal rights of workers’ genetic information also are critical concerns to our society. This invited scientific forum provides an environment for researchers, clinicians, labor advocates, industry leaders, and policy makers to discuss current advances in genetic science and to address ethical, legal, and communication concerns from a trans-disciplinary approach. Papers will be presented representing different stakeholder perspectives. Distinguished panels will respond to each paper. This meeting is made possible by funding from the National Human Genome Institute and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (R25 ES12089) and the Johns Hopkins University NIOSH funded Education and Research Center.
