“Socialising the Genome” at University of the Witwatersand, Johannesburg

10th August 2017

The talk explored ethical, legal and social issues raised by genomics in this lecture. Anna discussed her research and endeavours to turn genomics from (what is for many) an anti-social concept (‘I won’t understand it’, ‘I didn’t do science at school’) to a more social concept based on her approach to research, which is grounded in her clinical experience of working directly with families in the NHS as a genetic counsellor.
