Genetics in society
About
The advances in genetic research lead to a clearer picture of the role of genetics in health and disease, which in turn will help drive the development of new diagnostic tools and treatments. However, rapid advances in the science of genetics and its applications have presented new and complex ethical and policy issues for individuals and society. The overall goal of my research team is to examine ethical and public policy issues raised by the integration of genetic technologies and information into health care and public health activities.
Overall aim
The overall aim of my research and of the group of researchers I would like to supervise is to:
-
To provide theoretical insight into the ethical, legal and social implications of genetics
-
To conduct empirical social scientific research into the ethical, legal and social implications of genetics
-
To craft and inform genetic policy options and recommendations
