“Working in a lab should feel like reading a good book. So that every day, you can’t wait to come into lab to find out what happens next.”

Every day, our goal is to explore the unknown.

The long-term goal of the Scavuzzo lab is to innovate and make biomedical discoveries that provide insight into basic biology, health, and disease. The immediate goal of the Scavuzzo lab is to provide an enriching environment for scientific trainees to learn, grow, have fun, develop to their fullest potential, and perform outstanding scientific research.

The working environment of the Scavuzzo lab is one where individuals are uplifted and celebrated by their colleagues. It is a place where diverse individuals with different ideas, backgrounds, and identities can learn, grow, discover, and innovate. In this lab we treat one another with respect, dignity, and kindness.

All work is performed and evaluated ethically, with integrity and honesty. We promote open science by sharing our ideas, results, and discoveries often, without reservations, and in an accessible manner. We are collaborative. We celebrate advances made by labs in related areas with a focus on why we do the work we do: to advance our understanding of basic biology and human health. We support one another, encourage the next generation of scientists, and celebrate what makes us each have unique perspectives.

Scavuzzo lab members (including PI) must adhere to the policies of the lab
