Genomic medicine is already helping more people receive answers about their health conditions through better diagnosis, treatment, and support. By volunteering to take part in research, you'll be making a difference to NHS patients and the future of genomic medicine.
This research aims to improve our understanding of human genetic variation and the processes that shape it, such as demography, ancestry, natural selection and genetic mutation. It also aims to elucidate the genomic contribution to disease and health in the population, and to inform diagnosis, treatment and the potential impact of interventions.

The impact of collecting and using patient data isn't always straightforward, so we're always listening to public opinion and leading the ethics debate.
