We believe that diversity in scientific research groups/labs is critical for academic and research success; and also, for science to be of the highest quality, more inclusive, more creative, and more innovative. Briefly, we believe in “Science for All, and Science for defining pathways to discovering solutions to the world’s greatest challenges”.

We encourage our students to think broadly and openly on how to use their scientific knowledge and skills for tackling and/or discovering solutions to the current and future world’s greatest challenges.
