Panel Discussion: Can We Move From Silos to Systems to Scale Biodata for a Borderless Future?

28 Jan 2026
Biodata Stage
  • How do we scale specific datasets (e.g. cancer genomics, rare disease) to unlock actionable insights? 

  • What lessons can we learn from the UK's largest health datasets, like UK Biobank, Genomics England, and NHS EHR systems, in building scalable infrastructure and public trust? 

  • How do we move from siloed to shared? Can we responsibly amalgamate data across institutions, geographies, and disease areas? 

  • Is there a shared, global vision to make biodata truly interoperable and impactful, from prevention to precision care?
