Oluwaferanmi Okanlami, MD, MS, K12 Scholar at the CAIRIBU Urological Epidemiology (KUroEpi) Institutional Research Career Development Program at the University of Michigan, is part of the Organizing Committee for this NIDDK Workshop that aims to convene people from diverse populations living with or at risk for diabetes and digestive and kidney diseases and conditions, as well as researchers and clinicians from across disciplines, to understand the state of the science and identify opportunities for considering common biological pathways underlying the consequences of racism, marginalization, and discrimination across population groups and disease areas. The focus on interdisciplinary research is intended to foster the cross-pollination of ideas and shared learning, as well as to promote consideration of intersectionality across marginalized identities and the multidimensional research framework.
