SUMMARY:Genetics-in-a-Day: Careers from the Bench to the Bedside
DESCRIPTION:Saturday March 23\, 2024\, 10am-2pm \nLocation: Mary Townes Science Building\, NCCU campus \nLunch provided with registration. \nThe UNC Program for Precision Medicine in Health Care and North Carolina Central University present a 1-day workshop for undergraduate students.  The goals of the workshop are to 1) introduce NCCU undergraduate students to applications of genetics & genomics; 2) increase students’ awareness about potential careers in the field; and 3) highlight opportunities for internships and further training at UNC.  The 4-hour workshop will consist of concurrent breakout sessions featuring applications of genomics\, and during lunch\, students will have the opportunity to chat with career professionals in several related fields.  The workshop will wrap up with a joint session to discuss takeaways\, future training opportunities\, and Q&A with panelists from various careers.   \n  \nTENTATIVE AGENDA  \n1.

Computational biologist\, Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research \nMarkia Smith is a computational biologist at Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research\, driven by her overarching goal to directly impact and enhance clinical outcomes through omics analyses and Ethical\, Legal\, and Social Implications (ELSI). Leveraging her expertise in cancer genetics/genomics\, computational biology\, and epidemiology\, her current role involves determining the effects of genomic alterations and developing/discovering genomic determinants of response therapy. \nMarkia earned her PhD in Pathobiology and Translational Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, building upon her Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry with a minor in Chinese Studies from the University of Delaware. Under the mentorship of Drs. Katherine A. Hoadley and Melissa A. Troester\, her research focused on employing integrative genomic approaches to investigate genetic and environmental determinants of cancer\, with a particular emphasis on understanding health disparities in historically marginalized populations. \nBeyond her scientific endeavors\, Markia is deeply committed to mentoring students in the STEM field\, especially within the realms of health and disability equity. Outside of her professional pursuits\, Markia is a passionate foodie\, traveler\, and avid lifter\, finding joy in exploring new cuisines\, cultures\, and fitness routines. \n  \nClick here to register.\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Ensuring Fairness: At the Crossroads of Equity and Economic Considerations in Precision Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Carolina Seminar Series theme: Science meets society at the intersection between precision medicine and justice\, equity\, and inclusion\nSeminar title: Ensuring Fairness: At the Crossroads of Equity and Economic Considerations in Precision Medicine\nVirtual Event \nTuesday March 26th\, 2024\, 12:00pm-1:15pm \nRegister here \nEvent Details:\nFeatured Speaker: Kate Saylor\, PhD\n                                  Fellow\, Ethical\, Legal\, and Social Implications of Genetics and Genomics\n                                  Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania\n                   \nEfforts to expand access to genomic health and precision medicine have resulted in a proliferation of screening programs for healthy adult populations across the nation. Issues of fairness and equity abound in medicine and are a critical component of assessing implementation of these genomic health and precision medicine efforts. But how can programs such as genomic screening ensure equitable access within a healthcare system that is already characterized by massive health disparities and barriers to equitable access? When and how should cost-effectiveness be considered when designing screening programs and their offerings? How can cost-effectiveness models incorporate justice\, equity and inclusion? In this seminar session\, we will explore these questions and the overall relationship between equity and economic considerations in precision medicine.
