Hosted by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
As a part of the NIH workshop, Understanding the Biological Mechanisms Underlying the Health Consequences of Racism, Marginalization, and Discrimination, Adolfo G. Cuevas, PhD, an Assistant Professor in GPH’s Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, will be presenting his research "Discrimination Exposure in Inflammation".
This NIH workshop will convene people from diverse populations living with or at risk for diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases and conditions, as well as researchers and clinicians from across disciplines. The aim of this event is to understand the state of the science and identify opportunities for considering common biological pathways underlying the consequences of racism, marginalization, and discrimination across population groups and disease areas. The focus on interdisciplinary research is intended to foster the cross-pollination of ideas and shared learning and to promote consideration of intersectionality across marginalized identities and the multidimensional research framework.
