Case study: making genomics culturally safe for a community

How do you make genomics culturally safe for a community? NCIG Australia Azure Hermes

We hear from Azure Hermes from the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics (NCIG) at the Australian National University on how they make genomics culturally safe for a community.

The video shares how this could be done – through designing tools that reflect the realities of people’s lives and in giving Aboriginal and Torres Straits Islander people full control over how, when and why they engage with genomic science.
