A hallmark of Duke’s Developmental and Stem Cell Biology (DSCB) Program is the diverse backgrounds of our students and faculty. Doctoral candidates in Duke’s Developmental and Stem Cell Biology (DSCB) Program bring a broad and varied range of experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds that strengthen our scientific community. Duke University Medical Center and the DSCB Program are dedicated to cultivating a respectful, supportive, and inclusive environment where every student belongs and can thrive.
Duke University Institutional Statement of Commitment to Workplace Community and Engagement. Duke aspires to create a community built on collaboration, innovation, creativity, and belonging. Our collective success depends on the robust exchange of ideas—an exchange that is best when the rich diversity of our perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences flourishes. To achieve this exchange, it is essential that all members of the community feel secure and welcome, that the contributions of all individuals are respected, and that all voices are heard. All members of our community have a responsibility to uphold these values. The Duke Center for Multicultural Affairs is committed to creating a more equitable and inclusive campus environment.
