All are welcome in the Hartman Lab!

A strong commitment to diversity and inclusion is a fundamental value of the University of Pittsburgh and is critical to achieving our mission as a public research university.  Diversity encompasses a broad range of differences and evolves over time. Fostering an inclusive and diverse community is vital as we aim for excellence in teaching and research. First, our mission as an institution on the forefront of discovery requires us to make our community the best possible environment for innovation and creativity and requires that we draw from among the most talented individuals in the world, regardless of social background, disability, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, genetic information, marital status, familial status, sex, age, sexual orientation, veteran status, or gender identity and expression. 

Embracing diversity enables new sources of innovation. 

Diversity, opportunity, and inclusivity are important moral and social values in themselves and as part of our mission we must share our values with the local and global community.
