Diversity In Medical Academia

Diversity In Medical Academia (DIMA) is a student led endeavour that encourages minority groups to engage more in medical/medical based academia and research. We are passionate about widening participation and diversity in the academic field of medicine.
To encourage students from underrepresented backgrounds in particular and educate and increase the awareness of research. We hope to inspire students and equip them with the skills needed to succeed in the scientific field.

Meet the Team

Adan Khan

Co-Founder

Hi, my name is Adan Khan and I’m a first year Medical student at Kent Medical School. We created DIMA to raise awareness on how to conduct research as well as the different ways someone can do research especially for those who are underprivileged.

Fun Fact: I like to code and design things where ever possible.

Lauren Pereira-Greene

Co-Founder

Hey! My name is Lauren and I’m a 1st year medical student at UCL! We created DIMA because academia needs to be as inclusive as possible to ensure that it adequately represents the needs and interests of the whole population!

Fun Fact: I would love to visit every continent (including Antartica!)
