Dave McCormick, Jenny Taylor and Professor Matt Brown: Reaching the full potential of genomic research

In this episode of The G Word, Dave McCormick, member of the
Participant Panel at Genomics England is joined by Jenny Taylor*,
a valued member of our research community, and Professor Matt
Brown, our Chief Scientific Officer, to discuss the last decade
of genomic research at Genomics England.


During this podcast our guests will consider:


Is the National Genomic Research Library (NGRL) meeting its
full potential?

What is the future direction for research at Genomics
England?

How will Genomics England help research participants make
connections with researchers who are interested in their gene or
condition?

"One thing I'm really keen to see is that [the NGRL] grows and
continues to be bringing in details on new patients who are
experiencing treatments and diagnostic processes in the current
day…We're expecting that over the next three years it will grow
to over half a million in size by the end of 2026. We also would
like to see an increase in diversity, and I mean that not just in
terms of clinical diversity, but also ancestral diversity."
