Overview
Research
Women and people from other marginalized groups continue to face discrimination in STEM fields, which imposes extraordinary challenges for their access to education and healthcare. My research program is focused on finding solutions to the issues surrounding (in)equity in STEM, particularly in the biomedical research space, with the goal of improving the lives of women and people from other marginalized communities. We are achieving this goal by 1) addressing research questions that are of fundamental importance to women’s health and 2) by improving the working environment for people from marginalized communities in STEM fields through research and advocacy. Please see my webpage for more information.
