The Stanford.Berkeley.UCSF Next Generation Faculty Symposium held its inaugural event on October 23rd to highlight the work of exceptional early-career scientists in the fields of quantitative biological and biomedical sciences, with a record of research productivity and demonstrated contributions to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM.
Assistant Professor Aaron Streets of Bioengineering at UC Berkeley, Assistant Professor Polly Fordyce of Bioengineering and Genetics at Stanford, and Professor Jason Sello of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at UCSF, all of whom are Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Investigators, were inspired to create this symposium to reform recruitment with targeted efforts prior to the announcement of faculty searches, with the goal of increasing the diversity and quality of applicant pools.
