Human Genetics 1990-2009: Portfolio review

As part of moves to strengthen our evaluation activity, we have developed a new, macro-level approach to reviewing the impact of our funding at a subject, portfolio level.

Conducted during the second half of 2009, this portfolio review presents an analysis of the development and key landmarks in human genetics research over the last two decades - and attempts to identify the role of the Wellcome Trust within this.

The review combines both retrospective and prospective analysis, looking forward to where the future of human genetics research might lie.
