Rapid changes in genomic technologies are contributing to the development of more effective, personalized approaches to prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.
BRIDGES (Bridging Infectious Disease, Genomics, and Society) is a Center for Excellence in ELSI Research (CEER) supported by the National Genome Research Institute. BRIDGES addresses the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSIs) of advances in genomics that arise in the context of infectious diseases prevention and control.
