BIO
Mary Adeturinmo is an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Researcher at Imperial College London. She works in the dynamic new research group, ‘EQuity Lab’, which investigates EDI themes affecting academic research careers. It also aims to understand the experiences of under-served groups in clinical research. Additionally, she is a co-founder of the Imperial Sickle Cell Group, with a mission to embed the Sickle CHARTA ethos and program at Imperial. The group facilitates a collaborative, multi-disciplinary, multi-stakeholder approach to addressing the significant health challenges Sickle Cell poses in Africa and globally. Mary joined the Faculty of Medicine in August 2023.
She has a Masters of Research in ‘Healthcare and Design’ which she completed in 2023 and a BA (Hons) in Architecture. During her master's, she developed the Design for Sickle Cell initiative which explores novel ways of understanding and conveying elements of this complex blood disorder, using Art, Design and Science. She specialises in Patient and Public Involvement Engagement, including delivering health-inspired immersive exhibitions. The Royal College of Art commissioned her to showcase her research ‘Co-visualising the impact of Sickle Cell’ at Great Exhibition Road Festival 2023 through workshops and an interactive exhibition.
