Faculty Spotlights
Faculty Spotlights honor the excellent work of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute faculty members and provide the opportunity to learn more about their research and roles. These spotlights introduce readers to the diverse, dedicated, and distinctive individuals who lead our research community's mission to improve children’s health. Each year featured scientists are asked about a specific topic — why it matters and how it has influenced their careers.
2022-2023 Theme:
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Office of Faculty Development is committed to supporting a diverse workforce and form a research community where all members feel valued and respected to ensure that all employees can flourish and contribute to inclusive medical research. This year, we are asking faculty about their plans to support diversity, equity, and inclusion among their research teams. Recognizing that building diversity and inclusion in science is a long-term process, our faculty members are continuously fostering diversity through mentorship and communication to make an inclusive culture the foundation of their research teams.
Past Faculty Spotlights
In 2021-2022, we asked our featured scientists about mentorship — why it matters and how it has influenced their careers. Our distinguished scientists remarked that “mentorship is one of the core missions of being a scientist.” It is a “process that must exist from generation to generation” and is “essential to scientific advancement.” View the articles in their entirety below.
