On December 4, 2019, Precision Medicine: Ethics, Politics, and Culture working group hosted a lecture by Shirley Sun, Associate Professor of Sociology with joint courtesy appointments at Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine and the School of Biological Sciences at NTU. Sun discussed the racialization of precision medicine in her talk, “Should you be worried about racialization of precision medicine?
