Abstract

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in research is important. This is the case not only because it is simply the right thing to do but also because DEI fosters collaboration, empathy, and psychological safety between scientists and clinicians as well as in our attitudes to and relations with patients. Inclusion of patient samples from diverse populations is critical to ensure that the full range of biological variabilities are represented in basic and clinical research.
