Our Mission
Our mission is to improve healthcare for vulnerable populations while achieving the highest level of education and research in genetics, public health informatics, and archival research.
​
The Institute seeks to do this locally and globally, having started with Japan in 2000. Our strategy involves education, mentorship, and leadership programs for scientific and medical investigators imbued with a spirit of community and social service. Throughout our work, we preserve the integrity and methodology of scientific inquiry.
We envision a better world...
...where vulnerable populations have access to the healthcare they need, and international collaboration fosters discovery, understanding, and peace.
​
This vision includes:
-
Sustainable support and mentoring for biomedical scholars to achieve the highest level of education
-
A thriving network of local, national, and international leaders with operational healthcare, research, and educational programs in their communities
-
An abundance of expert medical and scientific professionals who exemplify a spirit of community and social service
-
A flow of new healthcare discoveries through learning and technology
Get to Know Us
At The Schull Institute, we are researchers: physicians and medical professionals, archivists, historians, community members, policy makers, business owners, and undergraduate students.
We have dedicated our lives to working with vulnerable communities — providing
the support they need in order to unlock their potential.
Before The Schull Institute was founded in 2000, we were members of a study group and shared an interest in medical disparities in vulnerable populations.
