Hosted by the Wellcome Sanger Institute as part of Black History Month
PhD student, Sasha Henriques, a Genetic Counsellor and passionate advocate for greater diversity and inclusion in genomic research, joined this innovative collaboration, developed by Wellcome Connecting Science and the Wellcome Sanger Institute, to explore structural inequalities in genomic research and investigate issues around race, ethnicity, data biases, and good research practice. The project is exploring the intersection between race and ethnicity and genomics, including when it is (and when it is not) relevant to include race in research data; the language used as descriptors of race and ethnicity and who decides this; and how do we ensure equity in benefit from genomics and health research.
