⭐️ Hosted by the Center for Chicanx and Latinx Academic Student Success / El Centro

In celebration of Latinx History Month, Luis Carvajal-Carmona, our associate vice chancellor for Academic Diversity and professor of biochemistry and molecular medicine at the School of Medicine, will be giving a presentation at El Centro (located on the second floor of the Memorial Union) on the genetic history of Latinx populations. 

In his talk, he will show how different types of genetic data can be used to understand how communities are established and how our Latinx genetic history is relevant to current disease patterns in these populations.

Carvajal-Carmona is an internationally recognized human and population geneticist and early in his career made important contributions to the patterns of genetic admixture that gave origin to Latinx populations throughout the Americas.
