Translational research plays a pivotal role in leveraging good science to serve humanity.
Structural racism and a lack of diversity severely limit our potential as scientists to exert a
maximum impact. This moment calls for a renewed commitment to ridding science of racism
and bias and promoting diversity, which makes us more effective at innovating and
delivering therapeutics to the patients we serve.
Abstract
Translational research plays a pivotal role in leveraging good science to serve humanity. Structural racism and a lack of diversity severely limit our potential as scientists to exert a maximum impact. This moment calls for a renewed commitment to ridding science of racism and bias and promoting diversity, which makes us more effective at innovating and delivering therapeutics to the patients we serve.
