Membership

I'd like to increase my research network, expand the visibility of ALBA and ultimately increase awareness about Brain research in my country.

to be part of a worldwide network of neuroscience researchers

I would join Alba Network because of its compelling mission to promote best practices in combating bias, acknowledge exceptional contributions to science and diversity, and offer networking and mentoring opportunities that foster the careers of individuals from underrepresented groups. Alba Network's commitment to equity and inclusivity aligns with my values and aspirations, making it a platform where I can actively contribute to positive change while benefiting from the support and resources they provide.

I wish to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a physician-executive and servant leader. I serve as the co-chair of the DEI Working Group for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG). SWOG is a major player in the global cancer research infrastructure, with members in 47 states and six other countries as part of the NCI's National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). I also lead the Cancer Health Equity Research Center (CHERC), an institution emerging from close collaboration between Miami Cancer Institute and Florida International University (FIU). CHERC is making significant strides toward improving cancer outcomes for underrepresented populations.

ALBA is an amazing network of like minder professionals to grow and excel in neuroscience careers. It would help me to polish my academic, professional, and technical career as a neuroscientist.

I’m joining ALBA to champion fairness in brain sciences. Their focus on countering biases, promoting inclusivity, and aiding international researcher participation aligns with my values. I believe in their mission to ensure opportunities are based on merit, not arbitrary factors.

I am eager to join the ALBA Network due to its commitment to promoting equity and diversity in brain sciences. The network's goals, including countering bias, recognizing contributions to science and diversity, and providing opportunities for underrepresented groups, resonate with my values. I see the network's actions, such as establishing best practices, curating resources, hosting events, and creating awards, as crucial steps toward fostering inclusivity. The emphasis on mentoring, building a scientist database, and advocacy aligns with my belief in collaborative efforts for positive change. Joining the ALBA Network, I aim to actively contribute to its mission and leverage my skills to support its goals.

I am joining Alba so that I can connect with the global neuroscience community and learn from experts in the field. I would like to collaborate with scientists with similar interests. I also look forward towards receiving mentorship towards career development.

Because, as an early career candidate in biomedical science, I want to also develop a wider understanding and knowledge on brain and brain related research. I regard that as a part of my public health education and Promotion path too.

I am joining ALBA to give back to the neuroscience community.
