Jointly hosted by ASHG and ESHG, this 1-hour program provides an in-depth look at how scientists build careers in the public sector. Presenters will share how they apply their scientific background to public sector roles and offer advice to those considering this path.

During this interactive panel discussion, speakers will explore:

• Pathways into the public sector
• The range of scientific roles in the public sector, including public health genomics, regulatory science, national screening programmes, and policy advising
• Skills, experiences, and competencies that are most useful in their role
• Advice for trainees and early-career scientists preparing for public sector careers

Following the panel, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and gain candid insights directly from scientists working in the public sector.
