Faith Based Genetic Research Institute
The Faith Based Genetic Research Institute is a non-profit organization based in Detroit, Michigan, dedicated to educating and empowering communities of color about the benefits of engagement with the medical community and advanced therapeutics. By leveraging faith institutions as a bridge, the Institute aims to build trust that encourages participation in medical trials, ultimately improving health outcomes for underrepresented populations.
Formed by a collaboration of research scientists, attorneys, and faith-based leaders, the Institute seeks to combat the underrepresentation of racial and ethnic minorities in medical trials, particularly in the field of gene therapy. Through town hall meetings and partnerships, such as with Wayne State University, the Institute fosters dialogue and advances participation in precision medicine while addressing health disparities in the community.
