Discoveries in science are made by the collective collaboration amongst scientists.  The Collisson Lab historically has its roots in creating a culture of belonging amongst its scientists. We think that scientific excellence and creativity are best achieved through the collective efforts, approaches and ideas of a diverse lab group and we are thus committed to recruiting, mentoring and supporting diverse staff members, students and postdoctoral scholars. Lab members’ engagement in outreach activities is highly valued as we work towards inspiring future scientists and increasing equity in STEM.

We work closely with the Fred Hutch DEI team in recruitment, retention, and development of traditionally underrepresented people in our lab and research.
