At our recent conference Genomic Analysis in Tort Cases, the last panel of the conference focused on uses for genomics in “high value” settings, including a further focus on uses in cancer cluster cases and medical monitoring cases. Panelists discussed by genomics may represent the best defense in a cancer cluster case, and Kirk Hartley provided a […]
At our recent conference Genomic Analysis in Tort Cases, one of the panels focused primarily on communicating genomic issues to juries and judges, including extensive slides and comments from Magna Legal on communicating the concepts of genetic predisposition and “susceptibility” to cancer, where the defense often seeks to make genetic predisposition arguments and plaintiffs often […]
At our recent conference Genomic Analysis in Tort Cases, panelists presented examples of results in “environmental cases” in which genomic analyses was used to provide objective evidence to trace sources of exposure and dispersal, and uses of genomic analyses for cancer cluster cases. The panel provided the perspective that genomics are well-suited to the injuries […]
At our recent conference Genomic Analysis in Tort Cases, Michael Zapata III and Leonel van Zyl, PhD provided an in depth review and analysis of the nuts and bolts for using genomic analysis in legal cases. Michael and Dr. van Zyl explained their systematic and gated methodology for helping clients considering whether a genomic approach […]
At our recent conference Genomic Analysis in Tort Cases, panelists addressed the use of genomics in medical cases (birth defects, malpractice, drugs). The panel was composed of an attorney, a medical doctor, and a genetic scientist. Dr. van Zyl, the genetic scientist, provided insightful information as to why individual genetic variability matters, including for Absorption, […]
At our recent conference Genomic Analysis in Tort Cases, Kirk Hartley, Esq. chaired the first panel addressing the use of genomics in product liability and/or premises cases involving exposures to toxicants, including asbestos, benzene and radiation.
