Regardless of background, identity, or career stage, every member of our team is valued and supported. We promote a collaborative spirit where professionalism, kindness, and mutual assistance are the norm. Success is shared, and we celebrate each other’s achievements as our own. Our lab is a space where ideas flow freely, contributions are recognized, and challenges are met with collective resilience and encouragement. Above all, we believe research should be intellectually fulfilling… and fun!

We view every lab member as a creative and capable contributor. Trainees are encouraged to take ownership of their projects, explore their interests, and shape their scientific journey. We support open dialogue around experimental planning and career development, with the goal of nurturing independent thinkers who are confident in their ideas and equipped to lead in their future endeavors.

We believe that effective mentorship is not one-size-fits-all. Each trainee brings a unique combination of experiences, interests, strengths, and aspirations. Our approach is to design personalized mentoring plans that build on these individual qualities, ensuring that every team member receives the guidance and support they need to thrive. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all voices are heard, and where barriers to success are actively identified and dismantled.
