Karsten Lunze holds a medical degree and doctorates in genetic epidemiology and public health. Following clinical training in pediatrics at Charité Berlin, Germany, and the Johns Hopkins Children's Center, Baltimore, MD, and in public health/preventive medicine and addiction medicine at BMC, he has conducted research concerned with individual and structural risks affecting disadvantaged populations. His clinical health services research has been devoted to improving the health of women and newborns in resource-limited environments. Karsten's federally and foundation-supported global health research aims to improve access to quality care for disadvantaged populations worldwide by addressing intersectional stigma and other barriers to prevention and care via multi-level behavioral and pharmacological interventions for people with addictions, HIV, TB and other conditions.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility
Increasing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in our work and workforce is central to my lab’s shared vision of equal access to quality prevention and care for everyone. Our mission is to empower disadvantaged people worldwide and assist them in coping with stigma and other barriers to accessing care. Inherently, in our work and our lives, we therefore share the core values of tolerance and inclusion as the opposite of stigma and discrimination. As first-generation immigrant to our university’s country, I welcome and celebrate diversity as a natural enrichment of our research activities and of our learning. We take great satisfaction from our achievements that strengthened the evidence-base around behavioral interventions for disadvantaged people, made possible by winning over people from around the world, with a fascinating spectrum of backgrounds, to gather and work with us. Realizing that tolerance and inclusion are continuously and ubiquitously under attack, we want to provide workplaces that are safe spaces. Aware of our perspectives, biased and position of privilege, we aspire to build a sense of belonging for everyone who shares BMC’s motto of excellent care, without exception.
I strive to foster learner-centered mentoring and teaching of diverse students, fellows and early-stage faculty, including underrepresented individuals. Our structural approach to increasing equity and accessibility is community engagement, i.e., partnering for all aspects of our research and teaching with people who have lived experiences. My research and teaching focuses on social and other determinants of population health, and underrepresented scholars have been instrumental in trailblazing our stigma intervention work. We created our Clinical Undergraduate Research in Addictions - Training and Experiences (CURATE) and Physician Research in Training (PRiT) programs [ https://www.bumc.bu.edu/care/education-and-training-programs/training-programs/mssrp/ ] that I lead with the firm goal of increasing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in research and teaching – this will make our mission even more divertido.
