Por el momento, la atención médica que recibimos es la misma para todos, pero imagine un future en donde la atención médica que recibe está personalizada a sus necesidades. Queremos hacer ese futuro posible al crear un recurso que le permita a los investigadores científicos realizar miles de estudios sobre la salud y las enfermedades.
Invitamos a todos los miembros de la comunidad a participar en una presentación virtual e interactiva para conocer más acerca de cómo el Programa Científico All of Us podría ayudar a cambiar el futuro de la salud. martes 23 de febrero, 2021 a las 6:00 de la tarde | Enlace de registro: http://bit.ly/2L79VVY

About the OLLAS Charla Series
The name of the series, Charla, means "chat" in English. Established in 2003, the series was created to engage the UNO and greater Omaha community in informed and informal conversations about Latino and Latin American related issues. Each event in the series is free and open to the public.
