Russell Women in Science Lecture Series 2022

At the 2022 installment of the Russell Women in Science Lecture Series, Dr. Gilda Barabino related her engineering career path to her lifelong interest in social justice and her career-long drive to advance sickle cell disease research. Sickle cell disease is a complex genetic blood disorder that impacts millions worldwide, and is a public health concern that disproportionately impacts African Americans in the United States. As a distinguished leader in STEM research and education, Dr. Barabino remains steadfast in her work toward impactful outcomes for individuals living with sickle cell disease and the broader community.
