RESEARCH INTEREST GROUPS

About

The Genes and Society Research Interest Group explores the intersection between genetic research advancements and society. This group fosters interdisciplinary collaboration among geneticists, social scientists, ethicists, and science communicators to address the societal implications of genetic research. This group serves as a hub for undergraduates, graduates, postdocs, technicians, staff, and faculty to collaborate on cutting-edge research projects, engage in deep discussions on topical papers, and participate in specialized seminars. By bringing together diverse expertise, the group fosters a rich environment for responsible, innovative, and socially responsive research, aiming to influence both the scientific community and the public, as we engage with the complexities of how we make collective and just decisions about genetic advancements in society.
