The translation and implementation of precision health research requires careful consideration of key ethical, legal and social issues (ELSI). Led by Dr Hilary Bowman-Smart, we apply an empirical bioethics approach, where mixed-methods empirical research informs ethical and philosophical analysis. Our aim is to provide applied insights with relevance to policy and practice.
Our research explores a range of areas including consent in genomics research, emerging technologies, data governance, and health equity. We also examine philosophical and conceptual questions about the nature of precision health.
