Bridging the gap between the clinical application of genomic science and the ethical implications that will arise in its use
Return to Listing
Successfully established a Program in Genomics and Ethics and initiated innovative research on ethical issues raised by emerging genomic technologies
Disseminated new knowledge and recommendations for best practices to key stakeholders including health care providers, researchers, and the public through publication, presentations, and other discourse
Documented convergent and divergent desires for return of genetic test results, highlighted low level of familiarity with genomic science, and further need for educational opportunities to the public
Provided evidence and arguments justifying emphasis on informed choice, specifically regarding the return of incidental findings and parental authority in a pediatric setting
Established research and collaborations that resulted in new frameworks for informed consent in genetic testing, detailing the importance of community engagement to avoid health care disparities, expanded scope of thinking about risk regarding genetic testing, and detailed an approach to decision-making using a "steering" metaphor (known as the "Helmsman" metaphor) as it applies in the context of genetic testing
