From March 7-9, the Age-Based Genomic Screening Team had the opportunity to be at the 49th Annual Unity Conference. This conference was held by the United Tribes of North Carolina at Charlotte, NC. We were able to attends various insightful talks and workshops about American Indian communities in NC which we were able to attend. It was also amazing to meet leaders throughout these tribes at our table at the conference center. While tabling, we were excited to speak to attendees about out educational material and project goals as well as receive their input in our research through a survey.
Here is some more information about the event from the organizers:
