ABOUT US

The HEEAT Lab consists of an interdisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and community members who are dedicated to addressing health disparities through equity, engagement, advocacy, and trust. Led by Dr. Schenita Randolph, Nurse Scientist, the Lab is a gateway for addressing health disparities in the Black community, specifically disparities in sexual health and HIV. Through research and education, our work is intentional about normalizing conversations about racial discrimination, racial socialization, racial identity, stigma and distrust, as these have a major impact on the health outcomes of Black communities.
