Genetic susceptibility and health at work

This web site addresses a problem that is not only highly complicated from a scientific point of view, but also extremely sensitive both socially and ethically: the use of tests to determine genetic susceptibility in the working environment. Although it describes the problem within the Belgian context, the site is nonetheless far more universal in its relevance. This site was developed with the support of the Federal Office for Scientific, Technical and Cultural Affairs by a Belgian inter-university team comprising: the Center for Human Genetics, KULeuven; the Laboratory for Mathematical Data Analysis, Notre Dame de la Paix University, Namur; the Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine, Antwerp University.
