The bioengineering department at the University of Pennsylvania believes in supporting students in science from all backgrounds and experiences. We strive to foster a welcoming community where students can share their values, culture, and achievements alongside peers. In challenging times, we hope to offer resources for navigating stress, identifying supports, and reassurance that the research performed at the University of Pennsylvania provides value beyond Philadelphia.Â
There are several professors who are both embedded within research at UPenn and who are also willing to help mentor and provide support to underrepresented groups. Please reach out to Yale Cohen (ycohen@pennmedicine.upenn.edu) for more information!
