Voices in Clinical & Translational Science
The mission of the integrated Translational Health Research Institute of Virginia (iTHRIV) is to catalyze and sustain inclusive clinical and translational research through diverse, collaborative team science, innovative data science, and broad workforce development in order to improve human health and promote health equity.
The Voices in Clinical & Translational Science series serves as a platform to lift underrepresented voices in research across the iTHRIV partnership with a focus on promoting dialogue and encouraging team science. This quarterly seminar series is aimed at amplifying diverse perspectives in clinical and translational research to foster innovation and an inclusive environment. Presenters will share their science and also their lived experience as an underrepresented person in research. It is our hope that listeners will be called to listen more deeply to one another, and to seek new opportunities to broaden their own research in our shared quest to improve the health of our communities in Virginia and beyond.
We are looking forward to seeing you at our next seminar presentation for the series on October 25, 2022 with Dr. Kemi Bankole from Carilion Clinic. If you haven’t already, please remember to register for the session using the link below!!
