Exploring genomics with Connecting Science
Wellcome Genome Campus Connecting Science works closely with the Wellcome Sanger Institute and other organisations on the Wellcome Genome Campus to enable everyone to explore genomic science and its impact on research, health and society.
Connecting Science inspires new thinking, sparks conversation and supports learning by drawing on the ground-breaking research taking place on the Campus. It connects researchers, health professionals and the wider public, creating opportunities and spaces to explore genomic science and its impact on people.
The programme comprises teams with a range of skills and expertise, and is led by Professor Julian Rayner.

Engagement and Society
Engagement and Society
Connecting Science is engaging global public audiences with the breadth of genomic science and its impact on society. They encourage conversations, ask for opinions, and empower researchers to share their experiences.
Wellcome Genome Campus Public Engagement
Public Engagement’s ambition is to build a world-leading engaged research campus by supporting and empowering the Wellcome Genome Campus community to develop relationships across a range of different audiences. They do this through a varied programme of support, mentoring and the creation of live and digital experiences.
Wellcome Genome Campus Society and Ethics Research
Society and Ethics Research explore ethical, legal and social issues raised by genomics. With specialist expertise in genetic counselling, they contribute a societal voice on the impact of genomics on patients, as well as develop policy and teaching practice. Their empirical research often has an ethical conundrum at the heart of it, and the team delivers evidence-based engagement around attitudes, trust and value in genomics.
