We place a great amount of value on diversity, and we strive to ensure that all members of the lab feel a strong sense of belonging. We aim to bring together a team with differences in opinion, background, skin color, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, origin, and any and all of the unique characteristics that each of us brings.
