This year the JQRSR are presented in the form of a joint congress, bringing together the Quebec respiratory health research network (QRHN) and the Réseau de recherche en santé des populations du Québec (RRSPQ).
Theme of the congress:
Improving the health of populations using sample and data banks in Quebec
Health research is experiencing a fundamental digital revolution, that of the integration of data from multiple sources and domains: environmental, social, economic, demographic, genetic and clinical data. The analysis of these data stands out from the medical approach focused on pathologies and the curative to put forward the concept of sustainable health, which includes human health, takes into account social data, that is to say the determinants of health and thus ecosystems that are interdependent. There are, of course, large cohorts like the UK Biobank and here in Quebec Cartagene which follow thousands of individuals, but over the past twenty years, we have seen the proliferation of numerous databases which have been set up in a independently by a large number of research teams in Quebec.
- How to enhance and exploit the full potential of databases and sample banks towards precision medicine to improve the health of the population?
- How to promote interdisciplinarity?
- What are the technical challenges to be met in order to be able to do so, but also the ethical and legal questions raised by this approach?
- How to innovate responsibly?
These are the topics that will be discussed during this conference.
