International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC)
As you may remember, the Bioethics WG developed a survey for an international study about the opportunities, challenges, and ethical issues in the field of epigenetics.
They are hoping to hear from nearly 300 researchers around the world.
If you have not already filled out the survey, we would like to ask you to please do so now.
SURVEY LINK:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/M5RZ9T3
The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and consists of 20 questions.
The study is being conducted by researchers at The Centre of Genomics and Policy at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. It has been reviewed by and received ethics clearance through The Faculty of Medicine Institutional Review Board. If you have any questions or concerns, you are welcome to contact:
