1dDear Colleagues,
2 1aeWe continue to add incredible talent to our scientific community with a steady pace of faculty recruitment across our basic science and clinical departments. In particular, we have focused efforts and resources in identifying and recruiting new faculty of outstanding qualifications who contribute to the diversity and inclusiveness of Penn Medicine.

With gratitude to Mary Mullins, PhD, and Raina Merchant, MD, MSHP, who led the search committees (membership listed below) for the Basic Sciences and Health Equity searches, respectively, we have now filled five out of our six slots. An impressive 570 applications were received, with over 30 interviews conducted.
