Dr. Michelle Martin will be the focus of a reception at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center this week that also will highlight the new Center for Innovation in Health Equity Research that she’s been brought in to lead.
The Wednesday, Feb. 22, reception to introduce Martin to the community is a kind of formal unveiling of the work she’ll lead at the center. Its focus is on making a difference in health outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities who have been diagnosed with cancer, a passion of Martin’s ever since her college years.
