Spotlight Videos—an initiative of the CSC’s Working for Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity (WIDE) Committee—shines a light on chemists from diverse backgrounds and creates opportunities for increased representation of diverse researchers and scientists. Each month, CIC News highlights one researcher from the Spotlight Videos library.
Dr. Sree Talluri holds a Ph.D. degree from University of Victoria and is a scientist at a biotechnology firm. Their Ph.D. research, under the supervision of Dr. Cornelia Bohne, focused on tagging gels with fluorescent dyes aimed at drug delivery systems, among other biotechnology applications.
In this WIDE Spotlight Video, Dr. Talluri describes their international experiences related to EDI workshops, building networks, volunteering with equity-deserving groups, and participating in outreach activities focused on STEM, etc. In addition, Dr. Talluri acquired international research experiences through internships to explore various fields of chemistry.
