It has never been so easy to get your DNA tested, for ancestry, kinship and for health. In doing so, you give up your most personal data, with no control over what happens to it. Fortunately, digitising DNA can be done differently - in such a way that we create a useful database for society, while you retain control over your own data. During Waag Open on Thursday 12 December, we will dive into the value and the risks of a digital DNA database. Meet the very first test subjects and help design the database!
More information about the programme will follow soon.
This event will take place in Dutch.
