The Accessible Genetics Consortium

As research builds and genomic sequencing procedures become cheaper, having a good understanding of genetics will become more and more important to us all, the group says.

Led by Goldsmiths’ professor of genetics and psychology Yulia Kovas, TAGC aims to communicate genetic knowledge in an accessible way and to address its ethical and legal implications – to enable everyone to benefit from genetic discoveries.

TAGC brings together efforts from scientists, media, lawyers and policy makers. It also provides key information, training and consultations at different levels, as well as a regular event series.
