A trainee-led team affiliated with the Stanford University Genetics Department (primary instructors: Roshni Patel and Rachel Ungar and secondary instructors: Alanna Pyke, Alvina Adimoelja, Anjali Narain, Justin Gomez-Stafford, and Naiomi Hunter) developed this course on genetics, ethics and society. The learning goals of this course include: connecting the historical context of genetics research to its modern-day practice; evaluating the social and ethical implications of genetics research; and analyzing how societal norms and structures, along with personal identities, biases, and responsibility, impact the conduct of scientific research.

This course provides an introduction to key issues relating to genomics in society. It explores social, ethical and policy questions raised by genomics in the context of: synthetic biology, genetics and crops, genetic modification of domestic animals, genetics and conservation, human genetic therapies and human enhancement, and privacy and genetic information. The course was developed by Claire Palmer, Penny Riggs, T.J. Kasperbauer, Jeremy Johnson, Lauren Cifuentes, Seung Won Park, and Jamie McQueen.

This course developed by Stephanie Malia Fullerton introduces students to select biomedical innovations and invites sustained consideration of the diverse ethical and social implications surrounding their development and potential use.
