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.
Engaging with communities in biomedical and genomic research is increasingly seen as critical for navigating ethical considerations, and a necessary part of the scientific process. Why? Meaningful engagement can foster trust and transparency by involving communities in decision-making processes, communicating research goals and findings clearly, and addressing concerns or misconceptions.
