Ann Arbor, MI 48109

Join us for a conversation on community-engaged research and paths forward that center Indigenous people as the agents of access for their own genomic and health data with Krystal Tsosie, an Indigenous geneticist-bioethicist and assistant professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University, and Jody Platt, an associate professor of Learning Health Sciences at the U-M Medical School.

Krystal Tsosie (Diné/Navajo Nation), Ph.D., MPH, MA, is an Indigenous geneticist-bioethicist and Presidential Post-Doctoral Fellow transitioning to Assistant Professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University. As an advocate for Indigenous genomic data sovereignty, she co-founded the first US Indigenous-led biobank, a 501c3 nonprofit research institution called the Native BioData Consortium.
