Our vision

A world in which the responsible application of science and technology leads to better health for people and populations.

Our mission

We want science to work for health. We support the responsible development and adoption of technologies based on knowledge of the human  genome, other biomarkers and health information.

We promote the conditions that enable such technologies to deliver genuine public benefit, while guarding against unethical or undesirable consequences for individuals or populations.

Our values

We value science and its profound impact on human health and wellbeing. We believe that the responsible pursuit and translation of scientific knowledge should be promoted.

We value all people in their individuality and diversity. We recognise that people are not all the same and that their health needs can be met better with a more personalised approach.

We value population health and appreciate that the health of each of us is entwined with the health of others. We recognise the important role that family and community play in health. We are committed to fairness in the expectations placed on people as patients, and as members of families and of the wider population, in respect of their own health and the health of others.

We value practical approaches that help address the challenges of health innovation in complex systems. We are committed to genuine  engagement across disciplines and sectors, including the sciences, humanities and health services, to achieve workable, sustainable solutions.
