Where next for Genomics? Addressing Issues of Equity, Attitudes, and Ethics

Excerpt from blog article:

“As an early career researcher, I am attracted to the transformative potential of research.

My current study is looking into the attitudes of BAME groups towards genomics and data sharing.

It is based on the premise that the success of any health technology will depend largely on its acceptance by the public.”
