Biomedical science research often raises various ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI). The goal of this session is to introduce why studying ELSI in biomedical sciences is important and to describe potential strategies in which ELSI research methodology can be incorporated in your work. Case examples of how ethical issues can be studied in biobanking, polygenic scores and community engagement in genomic testing will be presented. Time will be available during the workshop for audience members to pose and discuss potential ELSI research ideas related to their scientific projects with the workshop panelists.
