THE CENTER FOR GENETIC RESEARCH ETHICS & LAW

 

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Mission

Addressing Ethical, Legal and Social Issues in Genetic Research.

The mission of the Center for Genetic Research, Ethics, and Law (CGREAL) is to foster sustained interdisciplinary research on the ethical, legal, and social issues involved in the design and conduct of human genetic research with families, communities, and populations. The new research collaborations generated by the CGREAL will be harnessed in the first five years to pursue four Center-Wide research aims, which we believe reflect the highest priority needs in genetic research ethics and policy making. These research aims are described in this section. Our operational plans for achieving these aims are described in "Center Design," below.
