Krystal Tsosie is a geneticist-bioethicist at Arizona State University and a Navajo Nation native with a vested interest in community health.

Her scientific pursuits were catalyzed by witnessing the effects of diseases and environmental issues like uranium mining on her community.

Tsosie identified a gap in Indigenous representation in genetics and noted systemic issues in the biomedical industry.

She co-founded the Native BioData Consortium to combat the misuse of Indigenous genetic information and to promote community-managed research.

Her laboratory's work at ASU is centered on assembling a diverse cohort to study health inequalities and aspects of Indigenous identity.

Tsosie is dedicated to mentoring future Indigenous scientists and advocates for the control of Indigenous data by Indigenous communities.
