Joseph Wu
I believe people are the driving force behind impactful change. Uplifting others and creating opportunities for growth is central to my mission as a scientist. To support professional development, I founded the Inspiring Women in Science and Healthcare Talks (iWISH-Talks), connecting postdocs and early career professionals with established leaders in science and medicine. We also engage the next generation by organizing high school lab tours, offering students from underserved backgrounds an inspiring glimpse into scientific careers. These initiatives reflect my core commitment to building a more supportive and empowered scientific community at every stage.
