Innogen II is the second 5-year phase of the ESRC Centre for Social and Economic Research on Innovation in Genomics. It is part of the ESRC Genomics Network , three Centres across the UK studying the evolution of genomics and life sciences and their far-reaching social and economic implications.

Innogen is based at the University of Edinburgh in collaboration with the Open University, and is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). The researchers working at the Innogen Centre include social scientists, economists, and lawyers. The Centre also engages with a wide range of stakeholders, nationally and internationally, including scientists, industry and private interest groups, policy makers and regulators, and citizens and public interest groups. Innogen coordinates a number of research projects.
