Consideration of Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues (ELSI) is vital to understanding the impact of genomic technologies on society. ELSI research captures how genomics can impact individuals, families, communities and health services. Key aspects of ELSI research include supporting equitable access to genomic testing and understanding how these issues impact underrepresented communities.

Our team is leading several studies on mainstreaming genomic testing across several areas of healthcare:

• Genetic discrimination and life insurance

• Genomics education for Human Research Ethics Commitees

• Increasing ancestry diversity in genomics research
