YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

It’s an exciting time for genetics research – large-scale biomedical research cohorts allow volunteers from all over the country to share their genetic information, which are being used by scientists across the world to make new discoveries and advances in healthcare.

But unfortunately, current genetics research doesn’t represent and benefit us all equally. Ethnic minorities are underrepresented in genetics research, with the same being true for disadvantaged socioeconomic groups, as well as those with health conditions and disabilities.

We, the GRACE project, research and engage directly with communities, for giving them a voice, and identifying barriers and concerns which prevent their participation in genetics.
