Our research is conducted within these areas:-
Ethical Preparedness in Genomic Medicine
Additional findings and whole genome sequencing
Communication of results from the 100,000 Genomes Project to relevant others
Consent and confidentiality in genetic medicine
Developing digital tools to facilitate genome sequencing clinical transition
Using Hospital Data to Improve Healthcare
Expanded Preconception Carrier Screening
Genetic testing of children for adult onset conditions
Incidental Findings (IFs) from genetic tests
The management of certainty and uncertainty in genetic findings
