Laura Eghobamien is a cellular biologist who offers expertise in cellular immunology, antibody therapeutics, and high throughput screening to small biotech companies. Eghobamien is also the founder of the Black Medical Scientific Network (BMSN) in the United Kingdom. She established it in 2020 after a close friend in the science field revealed her frustration with having to constantly prove her worth and was considering quitting the field altogether.
I write this month’s note having just returned from the successful ASPET 2025 Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon. The success of that meeting would not have been possible without the help of dozens of volunteers who comprised the various committees that helped with programming, poster judging, and more. The ASPET Annual Meeting is just one example of the many initiatives and programs at our Society that are dependent on the generosity of our members donating their time and expertise. During the month of April, we are pleased to share with you, opportunities to deepen your engagement with ASPET and contribute meaningfully to our collective mission by volunteering.
