Athari Bio + Sciences
www.athari.bioAthari Bio is a vehicle for building generational wealth, developing future leaders, & strengthening communities through biosciences. We leverage STEM & plant seeds of education & empowerment, not just for the sake of advancing science, but also because science stands to help us all live healthier, more vibrant lives today & for future generations. WHAT WE DO Innovate • Incubate • Accelerate: We bring together biotech research, manufacturing, & services with education & job training—to improve care & impact lives. Our lab conducts research & develops test kits for diseases from Covid to cancer using genomic datasets that are truly diverse & representative of our whole community. For STEM students from K–12 through post-doc, the Athari lab is also the site of hands-on education & skills training in today’s fastest growing & most in-demand careers. WHAT DRIVES US Omitting minority groups from the research & development ecosystem is the result of—& also results in—a lack of access to innovative medicines & effective care, further widening gaps in health equity & biosciences. - We’re fixing the problem of underrepresentation &, therefore, the problems that underrepresentation has created. - We’re fixing the problem of disproportionate health risks rooted in inequities in healthcare & more. - We’re fixing the problem of limited access to educational & career opportunities in STEM fields. Built upon Manahoac tribal land in Sterling, Virginia, our lab is focused on increasing diversity of data that represents people of color, including the indigenous communities for whom we express gratitude and recognition of the rich land and heritage therein, of Athari’s address today. As a diverse team on a unified mission, we also acknowledge & carry forth the roots of science itself, grounded in Egyptian & Mesopotamian soil. Our very namesake honors this truth: Athari means “impact” in Swahili. Together, let's make a lasting one.
