Policy Research

As one of only a few embedded institutional policy groups in the world, we are in a unique position to better understand and anticipate the societal effects of all scientific breakthroughs. We remain committed to educating policy makers on the possible implications of emerging science so that they’re able to create guidelines that will maximize the positive and avoid the negative outcomes on society.
