The Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology values equality and respect for every member of its community. Faculty, students, and staff from different backgrounds bring their lived experiences and unique perspectives together. This diversity is essential to improving the IGB’s ability to solve problems and be responsive to societal needs. In alignment with our mission to foster a supportive environment for all members of our university community, our efforts are open to all eligible persons regardless of race, color or national origin.
