The London IDEAS Genetics Knowledge Park aims to enable people to make informed choices to reduce the burden of disease for which they are at genetic risk.

Our main activities are applied research, training and education.

Although the main phase of our work was completed in summer 2007, the materials we have developed for schools, researchers and health professionals are available by following the links below.

Our achievements are summarised in our final report. (1.16mb)

A full list of our publications as at July 2007 is viewable here. (179kb)

To read short summaries of a selection of these publications, follow the link to the "Researchers" pages below.
