Presentation on the consideration of local ancestry of admixed populations, or populations comprised of genetically distinct ancestral populations which can alter their gene flow in unique ways. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.

This presentation introduces the possibility of using nanomaterials and optically active sensors in genomics research. The presenter shares the history and applications of nanomaterials, introduces their research into optical-luminescent sensors and optically active plasmonic nanoparticles, and explores how they might be used in genomics. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.

Presentation on TRPV6, which is an entry channel for calcium ions in epithelial cells, and its associated risk for cancer when overexpressed. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.

Presentation on the difficulty of achieving diversity in genomic research, a review of recent research, and recommendations for moving forward. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.

This presentation delves into the lack of precision in precision medicine when it comes to anyone who is not the average research subject, with the average is usually males of European ancestry. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.

Presentation highlighting the use of zebrafish to identify genes relating to predisposition to thromboembolism and cardiovascular disease in people with African ancestry. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.

Presentation on the importance of studying underrepresented ethnicities in genomics, in particular those Hispanic/Latino ancestry. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.

Presentation on population-biased cancer disparities related to the TRPV6 gene. The presenter discusses the TRPV6 gene from evolutionary biology and structural biology standpoints, the role it plays in cancer, through a evolutionary-ecological model, and provides a synthesis of relevant research. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.

Presentation focusing on racial and ethnic disparities in health and health care that includes historical and modern perspectives, socioecological factors, and challenges to overcoming these disparities. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.

Presentation on the National Science Foundation and its career and professional development resources for high school students through individuals starting their careers.
