Meet the new Diversity Fellows

Diversity and inclusion are critical drivers to our breakthroughs at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute. Fostering a community of scientists from unique backgrounds and academic experiences enables collaboration to meet challenging pediatric problems from a variety of perspectives. In a Q&A series in the coming months, we're featuring five new scholars in the Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for Academic Diversity program at CHOP.
Our next featured Diversity Fellow Arnold Olali, PhD, is studying how mitochondrial variants can predispose us to common diseases including cancer and increase symptom severity following viral infection.

CHOP Diversity Symposium Lecture Series: Leveraging the ABCs for STEM Success, 2/1

CHOP and Penn Research Community

Rigor & Reproducibility Event at CHOP - Recording Available

CHOP recently hosted special guest speaker Arturo Casadevall, MD, PhD to discuss “Crisis and Reformation in the Biomedical Sciences” as part of our Research Integrity in Practice seminar series.
 
In the early 21st century the biomedical sciences encountered a crisis where its rigor and reproducibility was questioned at a time of increasing retractions and concerns about the overall quality of the research output. Concurrent with these trends, there is some evidence that biomedical innovation has slowed in recent decades relative to what is known.
 
Learn about recent initiatives designed to shore up the reliability of the research output and reform the biomedical research enterprise.
