Public
We are here to help you explore genetics and genomic research, whatever your interests, knowledge or background. We arrange visits to the Campus and events across the UK. We also explore the impact of genomics on society.

We are continually asking ‘how are people responding to genomics? And “what is the impact on society?” Through surveys and interviews, we gather attitudes, values, and opinions for use in policy and practice, to improve the experiences of study participants, patients, their families as well as scientists and health professionals. We create films that explain the impact of genetics, some of which have been selected to show at film festivals around the world.

From events to support those working on Campus, to working with educators and other partners, our Public Engagement Team creates a huge number of opportunities for people to explore the work of Institutions and companies here on Campus.
