Genetics
T he Genetics faculty working group focuses on the ethical, legal and social
implications (ELSI) of genetics. The purpose of this group is to bring together faculty from many disciplines and affiliations to work in innovative ways to address important questions concerning the societal implications of advances in genetics. Our hope is that one outcome of this group will be the development of a series of project proposals that can be submitted for funding to the NIH as a Center for Excellence in ELSI research or to other funding sources.

To participate in this working group, please contact Dr. Lisa Lehmann (llehmann1@partners.org).
