Marie Maynard Daly, 1960

J.E.M.

Justice and Equity Membership Program

Marie Maynard Daly was a biochemist and the first African-American woman to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry in the United States. Her groundbreaking research and dedication to science helped transform our understanding of DNA and its role in human health. She worked to increase access to science education for underrepresented communities and inspire future generations of diverse scientists.

 

Her legacy is a source of inspiration and celebration, a testament to the power of science to drive progress and make a lasting impact on the world. In celebration of Marie Maynard Daly, we at AUGenomics have adopted our J.E.M. Program in the spirit of supporting the increase in diversity and inclusion in science.
