Katrina Serrano, Ph.D.

Responsibilities & Activities

As a program director in the Office of Health and Engagement Research, I lead efforts to address health disparities research and to promote participation in the scientific biomedical workforce. I manage a portfolio in organ and tissue donation among populations that experience health disparities, a small grant program and partnerships with professional societies to develop the scientific workforce, and a mentoring program for early career individuals. I also oversee a training/travel awards program in partnership with medical organizations that aims to support early career investigators interested in pursuing biomedical research and academic medicine careers.
