Cancer Speaker Series: Dr. Jani Ingram
This event is FREE and open to the public! The purpose of this series is to bring together diverse attendees including SDSU and UCSD students, faculty, researchers, alumni, and community partners interested in cancer disparities research. In this talk, Jani C. Ingram, Ph. D. discusses her investigation with environmental contaminants with respect to their impact on health. A major part of her research is focused on characterizing uranium and arsenic contamination in water, soil, plants and livestock. A critical aspect of her research is to foster collaborations with the Native American community and leaders to build trust, obtain access to field samples and gain insights into their health concerns. Recruiting Native American students to work with her as a Navajo principal investigator on the project and building an interdisciplinary, collaborative team of scientists with expertise in analytical chemistry, geoscience, cancer biology, and social sciences are also important to her research. 4-5pm Lecture 5-6pm Meet and Greet *refreshments will be provided This event is sponsored by the 2017-2018 SDSU Student Success Fee and the SDSU/UCSD Partnership Please RSVP: email [email protected] or https://goo.gl/forms/0BNaqm3FQzLyBVJ43
