A MindSet Panel Discussion moderated by Joaquin Urdinez and Priyanka Ravikumar, and organized by Life Science Zurich Young Scientist Network

Together with a group of experts, we will discuss the possible applications of blockchain in scientific research and healthcare.

Currently, blockchain can already be used in research for data storage, traceability, and health data collection, amongst others. But how likely is it that this technology will be adopted globally and revolutionize the future? Are we, as society, prepared for this technology or will we have to make some changes? What about our health or research data, will it be kept secure at all times? Who will own 'the chain': governments or private institutions?
