Learn more about the group and the challenges we address.
Rapid technological advances promise improvements in medical care. There are many contextual factors to be understood when implementing them. New technologies bring their own challenges to be addressed for them to be integrated into practice and deliver long term positive change. We bring together expertise to address the ethical, legal, and psychosocial issues of implementing new technologies through research, education, policy engagement, and public dialogue.
We research real-life issues that are sometimes missing from promises for science and healthcare practice through interdisciplinary approaches.
Examples of our research include issues related to:
ethical preparedness in genomic medicine
environmental sustainability and personalised medicine
diversifying genomic data
exploring how results are constructed in whole genome approaches
familial communication of genetic information
consent and confidentiality in genomic medicine
