This international conference will seek to provide some of the answers and encourage knowledge exchange between policy makers, academic researchers, industry, media, NGO representatives and citizens’ groups.

Showcasing research evidence from across the ESRC genomics network, this conference will examine the issues from a broad range of perspectives. It will reflect on many applications of genomics research - from pharmaceuticals to fuel - and consider the implications of the life sciences for policy and practice - from innovation and global competitiveness to what this might mean for our personal identity and the ethics of genomics research.

Venue: 2 Savoy Place, London, WC2R 0BL
