Join Dr. Nadine Caron for a presentation on biobanking, genomic research, and the Northern Biobank Initiative.

This presentation is being given as part of consultations with First Nations in northern BC on the governance, access, consent and protocols (among others) of a First Nations biobank to be created through the NBI.

There will be door prizes and refreshments; parking is free! (please remember your licence plate no.)
