Kurzbeschreibung: More than a decade on from the publication of the full sequence of the human genome, genomic science and its social and technical applications and developments remain in flux and continue to raise concerns. There are great expectations that the life sciences, including genomics, are ideally positioned to deliver solutions to global challenges relating to health, food, and energy, but there are also concerns about cultural and institutional obstacles to this delivery and about the protection of ethical goods.
The ESRC Centre for Genomics in Society invites proposals for papers and panels that will present the best and most innovative research on the expectations for and challenges relating to genomics and the life sciences. Proposals for panels which bring together international experts with multiple perspectives on specific topics or research areas, highlighting and exploring diverse views or controversy are particularly welcome.
