Genomics Network Research
The ESRC Genomic Network (EGN) is the largest concentration of social scientific research on genomics in the world. The EGN undertakes and delivers discipline-based and interdisciplinary research of international quality from its four centres based at five universities across the UK.
EGN research encompasses all aspects of genomic science – including DNA profiling and identity politics, plant and animal genetics, personal genomics, embryonic stem cell research, and synthetic biology – and is arranged around four work streams:
- Science, technology and innovation
- Governance, regulation and public interest
- Biomedicine, health and identity
- Transforming nature
This research effort involves more than a hundred academics, from professors to PhD students, together with an international cast of visiting academics, industry specialists and policymakers.
