Science Advisory Committee

As a group of UK and international scientific experts, our Science Advisory Committee advises us on the development and delivery of Genomics England's research programmes.

This committee plays a key role in shaping our research-related policies, identifying research priorities and opportunities for research partnerships, in addition to steering the overall scientific direction of Genomics England. The committee considers the interests of patients, the public, scientists and clinicians engaged in genomic research or genomic medicine.
