Genomics and Society

Our ‘Genomics and Society’ research projects address implications of genetic research for society. This includes using existing data from large collections; collecting new quantitative and qualitative data; and experimental studies.

We provide educational resources and training, and collaborate with researchers and practitioners in different countries. Contact us to explore how you can collaborate with us.
