We take active steps to diversify our community demographics, promote equit able practices, and eliminate systemic racism and other inequities in our departmental structures. We listen actively and openly and seek to continually learn from one another during these respectful and open dialogues. We encourage difficult conversations about racial, gender, structural and other inequities in our labs, institutions, and society.

We hold ourselves and the community accountable to the following set of values: By continually strengthening this foundation of investing in the well-being of our people, we enable our community’s growth and pursuit of the creative and innovative approaches that underlie scientific excellence. We embrace a diverse range of perspectives, expertise, identities, experiences, talents, and abilities. It is our shared responsibility to create an inclusive culture, where we support and respect each other as colleagues. Against a backdrop of cutting-edge biological research, we work as a team of educators and mentors to inspire and train the next generation of scientists and global citizens.Īt the core of the MCB department is a commitment to foster an environment in which all individuals have the opportunity to thrive.
We are driven by a passion for discovery and value collaborative approaches to scientific inquiry, where connections between people fuel interdisciplinary science and break boundaries across varied experimental systems.
