Public engagement at the Sanger Institute

The Sanger Institute is at the forefront of genetics and genomics, an exciting and fast moving area of biomedical research that has a significant impact on human health. Within this decade genomics will become an integral part of healthcare through diagnostics, treatments and therapies.

You can experience genomics first-hand by visiting the Institute and talking directly with our scientists about their cutting-edge research. You will see the technologies that drive this science and enable us to ask important questions about inheritance, evolution, health and disease.

Visit our website yourgenome.org to broaden your knowledge of genetics and genomics. Through the arts, exhibitions and events you can explore different areas of genomics and examine the ethical, societal and cultural aspects of this research.
