In the O-lab we believe the data supporting that diversity and excellence go hand in hand. We welcome scientists of all ethnicities, races, nationalities, religions or lack thereof, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, neurotypes, different abilities, ages, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Researchers on our team come from backgrounds spanning chemical biology, biophysics, physical and anaytical chemistry, bioengineering, inorganic and organic chemistry specialties.
Interdisciplinary research, Intentional mentorship
Education & Outreach
Science does not take place in a vacuum (unless your research requires vacuum conditions!). Learn about educational and community building activities led by Olshansky and her team.
