Enabling Genetic Research with Diverse Ancestral Populations
Kayte Spector-Bagdady, JD, MBE
Associate Professor
Interim Co-Director, Ctr. for Bioethics & Social Sciences in Medicine
University of Michigan
Genetic researchers must have access to databases populated with diverse ancestral groups to ensure that research is generalizable to, or targeted for, historically excluded communities. This presentation will present mixed methods data exploring differences between private, government, and consortium data stewards and how they impact the generalizability of genetic research; assessing the impact of these differences on academic genetic research; and identifying areas for improvement for increased use of diverse ancestral populations.
Professor Kayte Spector-Bagdady is interim Co-Director at the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine. The goal of her work is improving the governance of secondary research with health data and specimens.

Capitalizing a Cure: How Finance Controls the Price and Value of Medicines
Victor Roy, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor, Family Medicine and Community Health
Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania
How can we make sense of the rising role of financial actors and logics in the U.S. health system and its consequences? To answer this question, this talk will apply sociological analysis of so-called "financialization" in the broader economy to cases in health and raise questions about assets and ownership, value and valuation, and hegemonic knowledge practices. The talk will draw on his book-length project Capitalizing a Cure: How Finance Controls the Price and Value of Medicines (2023, University of California Press), which focused on pricing and valuation of curative hepatitis C medicines, and a co-authored perspective piece "The Financialization of Health in the United States" (2024, New England Journal of Medicine).
