Philosophy of the PRIME Lab

The PRIME Lab believes that a diverse and inclusive lab is both a moral imperative and a strategic advantage. All people, regardless of background, creed, race, socioeconomic status, etc., deserve a supportive environment in which to grow skills and contribute to the knowledge enterprise. A diverse and inclusive lab is also a major advantage, because it more effectively solves challenging problems that are worth tackling.

The PRIME Lab works to benefit society by:

• Conducting well designed science that advances engineering and basic science with the goal of improving human health.
• Providing thorough scientific training to each individual trainee.
• Emphasizing growth of soft skills in addition to scientific proficiency.
• Crafting an environment that enables connection and personal growth among each lab member.

The values and mission of the PRIME lab will be updated, as lab members will play a role in crafting these important contributions. For now, we include a framework.
