On Episode 37 of Black in Science, I sat down with Dr. W. Marcus Lambert, who currently occupies a dual role at SUNY Downstate as the Associate Vice President for Research Strategy and Operations, as well as an Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. To open, Dr. Lambert discusses his childhood while growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio and Atlanta, Georgia. He then transitions into his undergraduate experience at Howard University before segueing into his time as a graduate student at NYU’s Grossman School of Medicine. After recounting the work he did for his Ph.D in Biomedical Science, Dr. Lambert discusses his shift into research related to the social sciences, education policy, and DEI. To conclude, Dr. Lambert outlines the health equity and disparities work his lab currently focuses on before sharing his views on the importance of developing a mentorship network and pursuing opportunities that prioritize your own fulfillment.
