ELSI (Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications) Research

ELSI research focuses on understanding the ethical, legal, and social implications of scientific advancements, particularly in genetics and healthcare. It examines how new technologies can affect individuals, communities, and society, ensuring that ethical standards are maintained while fostering innovation. ELSI studies address issues like privacy, discrimination, and informed consent, aiming to balance the benefits of scientific progress with respect for human rights and social justice. By exploring these dimensions, ELSI research helps guide policy and practices to promote responsible and equitable use of new technologies.
