Summer Internship for Indigenous Genomics

The SING Consortia (SING Aotearoa, SING USA, SING Australia, SING Canada) were pleased to support the inaugural SING Indigenous Genomics Conference held at the University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand on 23/24th January 2020. The purpose of the event was to promote Indigenous partnerships in genomic science with a focus on research with human relations, research with relations in nature, and research with our ancestors. Speakers talked about genomic science, ELSI issues, culture, and the interface with indigenous knowledge. Many thanks to sponsors, speakers and attendees for supporting the conference.
