The Team
The Your Genome team is part of Engagement and Society at Wellcome Connecting Science, a recognised centre of excellence, delivering learning and training either in person or through online courses, conferences, and events.
We are passionate about making high-quality and trusted genomics education resources freely available and accessible for all. As well as producing Your Genome, we also offer a range of in-person and online opportunities for young people, educators and adult learners to learn about genomics and the wide-range of career opportunities it provides. To hear about our latest opportunities, you can visit our Wellcome Connecting Science website, follow us on X or Facebook, and sign up to our schools and learning newsletter or public events newsletter.
Led by Dr Anna Middleton, our work across the wider Engagement and Society team uses research and engagement approaches to investigate the impact of science, ethics, and genomic technologies on people, on both a local and a global scale. We listen, gather, and share insights on public attitudes and experiences; and we create equitable programmes, projects and resources that facilitate accessible engagement and dynamic learning. We use our insights and understanding to support a diverse range of intersecting communities, including young people, learners, educators, researchers, patients, and the public, to discover how genomic science is relevant to all our lives.
