Our Commitment

Diversity enriches our lab, bringing unique perspectives and bright ideas that drive innovation. Here at the Graybiel Lab, we uphold excellence not only in scientific research but also by fostering an environment that is equitable, inclusive, and welcoming to all.

We respect and support every member of our lab, regardless of race, color, gender identity, religion, national origin, ancestry, physical ability, age, or sexual orientation. We actively embrace members from underrepresented groups, recognizing that diversity is essential to achieving excellence in scientific discovery.

Beyond our lab, we are committed to cultivating equity for all in the sciences. Many of history's groundbreaking ideas and discoveries have come from a diverse mix of minds, backgrounds, and cultures. We acknowledge and honor the contributions of scientists from all walks of life, especially those whose work has been historically overlooked by the greater scientific community.

Each of us plays a role in fostering inclusion. Our lab culture is shaped by our actions—our curiosity, collaboration, and willingness to share and uplift diverse perspectives. An inclusive environment empowers us to explore new ideas, speak openly, and take bold steps toward progress. By embracing these values, we create a space where everyone can connect, belong, and grow together.
