CERA is led by a multi-disciplinary team with advanced expertise in genomics, bioethics, legal analysis, social science research, and related fields. The CERA leadership identifies priority areas in ELSI, ensures the integrity of our collection of ELSI resources and analysis, and guides the community building and engagement activities of the Center.
Advisory Board
The membership of the CERA Advisory Board is chosen to bring broad disciplinary expertise, diverse lived experiences, a range of professional backgrounds and career stages, and perspectives that are underrepresented in genomics and ELSI research. Members contribute to CERA initiatives and ensure its visibility amongst a broad set of constituencies. They serve two-year terms.
