Clinical Genomics
Genomics is the study of all of a person’s genes (The genome). It has the potential to reshape clinical practice and to fundamentally change the way we prevent, diagnose, treat and monitor illness.
Current Projects
- Digital Consent Form and educational material for genetic testing
- Scoping Reproductive Carrier Screening, initial focus on Thalassaemia services
- Undertaking an environmental scan of genomic services across South Australia
