Genomics in Society
GE3LS research (Genomics and its Ethical, Environmental, Economic, Legal and Social aspects) explores the broader social and ethical implications of genomics research and innovation. This type of research is essential for ensuring advances in genomics are socially responsible, ethical and beneficial to society.
By considering the wider implications of genomics research, GE3LS research is helping to foster public trust and engagement and to guide policy and decision-making.
GE3LS research is an acronym that refers to genomics and the related ethical, environmental, economic, legal and social aspects. At the heart of the national Genome Enterprise and Genome Canada’s initiatives is a commitment to:
- Fostering the responsible, ethical, equitable and effective development, uptake and implementation of genomics research and innovation.
- Supporting evidence-based policy and decision making.
- Building trust and understanding of genomics.
GE3LS research is essential to helping us identify inequalities in access to, and benefit from, genomic solutions. It also helps us strengthen collaboration with communities and co-create genomic solutions with diverse sources of knowledge. An important example of this is collaboration with Indigenous communities who have been environmental stewards since time immemorial.
Such investment was made through three funding models: integrated GE3LS research, large-scale standalone GE3LS research projects and translational networks.
