Current project
A project aimed at developing a UK model for applying ethical standards to genomics initiatives.
Project Background
In its Genome UK strategy, the Government committed to establishing a gold standard UK model for how to apply strong and consistent ethical and regulatory standards, while recognising the need for more discussion on how to achieve this in a meaningful way.
We are helping to facilitate those discussions, and have started by collecting case studies of existing and past work from the UK’s rich ecosystem of world-leading expertise on the ethical issues raised by genomics.
Our analysis and findings will help the Government develop a UK model for how to apply ethical standards to genomics initiatives.
Our call for case studies closed on 5 September 2022 but if you would like to contribute to this project please contact Catherine Joynson.
This work is funded and led by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics.
