Doris Rubio is Professor of Medicine, Biomedical Informatics, Biostatistics, and Clinical & Translational Science at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She is the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Clinical Research Education and Training, Health Sciences and directs the Institute for Clinical Research Education (ICRE). The ICRE has 7 degree programs and 15 career development programs for clinical and translational science researchers and medical educators. Throughout her career, Dr. Rubio has emphasized team science as her approach to research. Her publications reflect the diversity of colleagues with whom she collaborates. As the Director of the Team Science Core, Dr. Rubio trains others on the best practices for team science. Complimenting her team science approach, Dr. Rubio has been particularly committed to the mentorship and development of faculty of color and women in science, as research has shown that more diverse teams are cited more often and more likely to be published in higher impact journals. With the goal of addressing the limited number of people who are underrepresented in science, she started the LEADS (Leading Emerging and Diverse Scientists to Success) program, funded by NIGMS, which is a collaboration with 9 Minority Serving Institutions to launch the research careers of junior investigators. Additionally, she has a U01 under the NIH’s Diversity Program Consortium and the National Research Mentoring Network to test an intervention for underrepresented biomedical researchers to help retain them in research. Among other honors, she has received the Educator of the Year Award from the Association for Clinical and Translational Science (ACTS) in 2016 and the ACTS Award for Contributing to the Diversity and Inclusiveness of the Translational Research Workforce in 2021. She also was awarded the Chancellor’s Distinguished Public Service Award in 2021 given her work on diversifying the workforce.
