We are thrilled to announce that Francisco Ramírez-Valle, MD, PhD, FAAD, our Senior Vice President and Head of the Immunology and Cardiovascular Thematic Research Center, has been recognized in Endpoints News' annual feature on LGBTQ+ leaders in biopharma! Francisco's leadership and dedication to advancing scientific research while fostering an inclusive environment exemplify our core values at Bristol Myers Squibb. His contributions are not only shaping the future of the immunology and cardiovascular treatment landscape but also paving the way for greater LGBTQ+ representation in clinical trials and the biotech industry overall.
“If I can be a mentor to anyone, whether they’re a Latino kid...or from a sexual minority, that they can achieve everything that they want and become a leader if that’s what they want, that would be amazing,” he said.
While we celebrate Francisco and the other incredible honorees, we must acknowledge the challenges the LGBTQ+ community continues to face. Francisco's recognition is a testament to the progress we've made and the work that still needs to be done. Join us in celebrating Francisco and the inspiring work of all the honorees. #LGBTQLeadership #SOGIIS #HealthEquity
