- Abstract
- Scientists and researchers represent a broad diversity of genders, races, and abilities, emphasising the importance of intersectionality in healthcare and STEMM. However, with diversity come systemic barriers that must be addressed to achieve equity and inclusion. Overcoming these challenges is essential to enrich scientific discovery and drive medical progress. This Special Feature of Immunology & Cell Biology on "Advancing Equity and Inclusion in Healthcare: an immunological call to action" highlights key barriers to the entry and retention of underrepresented minorities in healthcare and STEMM. We also examine the individual, institutional and systemic changes needed to ensure that intersectionality fuels innovation and that solutions are as dynamic and inclusive as the challenges they seek to address.
