See what CHOP leaders say about the international community
Mark Porter
Sr. Director, Department of Biomedical and
Health Informatics
“The international community members of our workforce have been critical to moving our mission forward and generally serving research and, ultimately, our patients. Data Science, Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, Programming, Data Integration, and more….you name it, we have members from the international community who not only participate, but drive these fields forward.”
Janis Burkhardt
Chief, Division of Cell Pathology
“Having done an international postdoc myself, I know that adjusting to a new country is both exhausting and exhilarating – it makes you a more resilient scientist. My lab has always welcomed international researchers. They bring fresh views, new expertise and new ways of doing things. Moreover, simply by stimulating conversations about small but significant differences in social norms and expectations, they challenge our assumptions and help to promote a lab environment where diversity and inclusion are valued. This makes for better science, and a better workplace for everyone.”
