Medical Director, Medical Strategy & Scientific Affairs at BGB Group
Each and every one of us in this field have a lot of work to do. Let’s not only speak to health inequities, but actively work toward equitable research and care for all.
Last week, our BGBers Angela Nurse and Gina Lee Barrientos, PharmD, RPh attended the Black in Cancer Conference which drew world renowned speakers, students, clinicians, researchers, and industry leaders. The organization works hard to build support networks increasing the number of black cancer researchers, facilitates mentorship and collaborations for student scientists, and gives cancer survivors and patient advocates a platform to share their experiences and insights. Our team noted they felt the excitement, eagerness, and motivation from all attendees from the minute they walked in. We are very proud to have sponsored an event with such a powerful mission and theme of “Lifting as We Climb” which emphasized the critical role we ALL play in creating sustainable pathways for future black cancer pioneers.
