Our Community

Collage of LSI community members in the lab and participating in community activities

The LSI is committed to fostering a climate in which every team member can succeed — where faculty, trainees and staff from across disciplines and perspectives combine their talents to achieve institutional and scientific excellence.

Our multidisciplinary community brings together a variety of scientific backgrounds and expertise with a common purpose: to push science forward with intensity and urgency.

CIVIC team

In support of of our culture of scientific excellence, the CIVIC (Community Involvement & Vision for Inclusive Climate) team leads the LSI's efforts to plan and implement strategies that provide a climate for success for every member of our community. The team includes faculty, students, postdocs, research staff and administrative staff.
