Network for Ethical Futures in Genomics

The Nuffield Council on Bioethics leads the Network for Ethical Futures in Genomics (NEFG). NEFG is a UK-wide, cross-sector initiative that aims to strengthen collaboration and co-develop guidance for the genomics community. The initiative is jointly funded by Genomics England, UK Biobank, Our Future Health, and the Wellcome Sanger Institute.

If you would like to sign up or learn more, please get in touch with
our Genomics Network Manager, Andreas Bruns (abruns@nuffieldbioethics.org).

We recently put out a call for contributions to gather responses on what it means today to handle genomic information responsibly. The responses we gathered will inform NEFG’s first report.
