Nordic Conference on Future Health 2026
Organisation
About Nordic Society of Human Genetics and Precision Medicine
The Nordic Society of Human Genetics and Precision Medicine (NSHG-PM, www.nshg-pm.org) represents a rapid growing movement of scientists, clinicians and other stakeholders demonstrating the value of combining data from genomics and other -omics research with health and other registry data to allow for more precision in disease prevention and treatment.
The Society was created to:
- Establish a Nordic framework for research into the genetics of human diseases, as well as into human evolution and population history.
- Accelerate discovery of disease susceptibility genes and genes protecting from disease through integrated analyses using multiple large-scale datasets and a range of experimental designs.
- Translate these findings so that they can be used for precision medicine to improve public health.
- Uphold and promote the highest legal, regulatory, social, and ethical standards.
About Statens Serum Institut & BBMRI.dk
Statens Serum Institut (SSI) is Denmark’s national public health institute and a central actor in Nordic and European collaboration on biobanking, health data, vaccines, and infectious disease control. Its work supports preparedness, sustainability, and innovation in healthcare, closely aligned with the themes of the Nordic Conference on Future Health.
Denmark is represented in BBMRI-ERIC through BBMRI.dk, coordinated by SSI, which connects national biobank and registry resources to the wider European infrastructure. Through this role, SSI strengthens Nordic cooperation and ensures that Danish research contributes to global health initiatives.
About Nordic Biobank Network
The Nordic Biobank Network (NBN) was established in 2010 to consolidate and further strengthen Nordic biobanks through regular network meetings, site visits and research networks such as the Nordic ColoRectalCancer-project and Nordic Information for Action eScience Center (NIASC), both funded by NordForsk.
NBN has encouraged and continued a strong, ongoing inter Nordic biobank collaboration based on ELSI issues, bioinformatics/registries, high throughput technologies, sample quality, management, and sustainability and to demonstrate the advantages of a common infrastructure for biobanks in the Nordic countries. Both Estland, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark are members states of BBMRI-ERIC.
