​Center for Research on Ethical, Legal & Social Implications of Psychiatric, Neurologic & Behavioral Genetics

The Center for Research on the Ethical, Legal and Social Implications of Psychiatric, Neurologic and Behavioral (PNB) Genetics is funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, as one of 6 Centers of Excellence in Ethical, Legal and Social Implications Research. We pursue research that explores the impact of PNB genetic information at the individual, familial and societal levels, considering its effect on stigma and self-image, attributions of responsibility, and responses to ambiguity, along with systematic consideration of the broader normative and translational implications of our findings.
