Laura Lowery PhD is a Boston University Scientist and Faculty Member. Lowery Represents the Section of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Boston Medical Center as Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and the Anti-Racism Committee.
Laura Lowery PhD is a dynamic professional who wears numerous hats. Although Lowery mostly considers herself to be more of a ‘left brain’ individual who leans towards scientific and analytical approaches, she has come to embrace her more creative side in recent years. A compassionate individual, she identifies herself as a mother, sister, amateur artist and empath before she is a scientist and Boston University faculty member. Multi-faceted in both personality and professional approaches, Lowery is empowered by her ability to balance creativity and logic. With the development of her amateur art project Art by Academics (and Friends), she is finding a unique sense of fulfillment in encouraging others to blend those two worlds.
