Adele Joseph worked in Thoracic Oncology for 45 years, so when she retired her team bought her a gene with her name on it. The gene can be seen at the gene display in Yawkey, 2nd floor.

At Dana-Farber, we work everyday to create an innovative, caring and inclusive environment where each patient, family, and staff member feels they belong (like Adele Joseph, seen in the photo).

We do this by integrating Inclusion, Diversity and Equity in everything we do. Only through this focus on inclusion of thought and human experience can we foster discovery and care for those we serve.
