Genomics in Society

The Genomics in Society research group explores the societal, ethical, and communicative dimensions of genetics. We focus on public dialogue, patient perspectives, and the responsible use of genetic knowledge.

About our research group/lab

Our research

We are active in education (including the research master Genomics in Society and the Genetics in Society minor), science communication (such as the DNA Dialogues), and participatory research with patients and professionals. Additionally we are involved in research into prenatal genetics and counseling. Our research group has strong representation in the Genomics in Society research master. 

Our group works in an interdisciplinary manner and contributes to educational innovation, policy development, and societal impact within and beyond Erasmus MC.
