Gareth Morgan, PhD is a Research Assistant Professor at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of AL amyloidosis with the aim of developing new treatments for this disease.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Doing science well is challenging because the questions that we ask are difficult. Otherwise, why would we bother? To be successful, researchers need a working environment where their ability to focus on scientific questions is not hindered by arbitrary barriers.
As a scientist and mentor, my role is to direct and facilitate the work carried out by my colleagues and to support their professional development. Science thrives where diverse viewpoints and perspectives are brought to bear on a problem, and everyone has the potential to develop their ability to design, execute and analyze experiments.
We strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where individuals’ needs are addressed and anyone with an enquiring mind and willingness to learn is able to work to the limits of their own ability. We will endeavor to support colleagues with whatever accommodations they need to achieve their goals. Anyone with an interest in amyloidosis is welcome to join the lab, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, beliefs, sexual or gender orientation, disability or other factors. In turn, we expect a high standard of professionalism and support for other team members and the broader community.
