Dr. Xin Tang’s Diversity and Mentorship Statement<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||6px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

I am firmly committed to proactively supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion at Boston Children\u2019s Hospital and the F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center. My personal experience as an immigrant scientist, studying and working in the US gave me first-hand knowledge of the importance of these values. I feel very fortunate to have had the educational and career support I\u2019ve received, and I am dedicated to providing this kind of support to the next generation of researchers. It\u2019s my cherished belief that scientific research aiming to understand universal truths is, by definition, a global collaboration, one providing a fair, merit-based, safe and collegial forum through which everyone can communicate and contribute.<\/p>\n

My lab and I will strive to ensure that every talented individual, regardless of gender, ethnic background, religion, sexual orientation, or nationality, is given equal opportunities to excel. Throughout my career, I have been deeply engaged in teaching and mentoring students and young scientists from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented minorities, at different stages of their careers. If you become a member of our research team, your scientific progress and career development are my priority.<\/p>\n
