Lab Diversity and Inclusion Statement


Diversity and inclusion are core values in the Orphan lab and essential to our success and continued excellence in science. We are a multi-disciplinary group of researchers who gain inspiration from working in an environment that celebrates different backgrounds, race, gender, sexual orientation, religions, and country of origin.

We are committed to providing a path to intellectual fulfillment for all members of the lab and recognize that facilitating academic lives includes providing a safe space, free from discrimination.

We recognize that to create a healthy and productive environment requires an open atmosphere that allows the free discussion of ideas and philosophies, and we will strive to provide that.

Inherent in the scientists' credo is the importance of service and we commit to deeper community involvement through educational outreach, to make science accessible to everyone and share our enthusiasm and passion for our work.

Any concerns of potential unlawful discrimination or harassment based on race, sex, and gender can be reported to the Equity and Title IX Office.
