As part of this work, our Centre has a growing social research program that explores how Indigenous peoples think and feel about genomics and its potential outcomes. This research is not done about communities, but with communities. By working in partnership, we co-design and conduct projects that reflect community priorities and explore both the opportunities and challenges of genomics.

Our program includes qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods projects, allowing us to capture both the depth of personal experiences and the breadth of community perspectives.

Our aim is to highlight the benefits of genomics research while also carefully considering the cultural, ethical, legal, and social dimensions.

This approach ensures that Indigenous voices guide how genomics is understood, communicated, and applied in Australia.
