ESRC Centre for Genomics in Society

The ESRC Centre for Genomics in Society (Egenis) is based at the University of Exeter under the directorship of Professor John Dupré.

We have a strongly interdisciplinary culture, encompassing a range of perspectives from social science, biology, and philosophy.

Egenis produces first class social science research on the social impact of developments in genomic science and has developed collaborations nationally and internationally with academics at the forefront of their fields. To promote this collaboration Egenis organises international seminars and arranges visits by leading researchers, while Egenis researchers visit centres of excellence around the world.
