Join Meharry's Office of Research and Innovation for an exciting on-site viewing with the United Nations Academic Impact and the Human Rights team of the UN Department of Global Communications. The online panel will explore the historical context, challenges these pioneering women faced, and the profound impact and legacies of their work on contemporary movements for gender equality and the work of the United Nations, as well as addressing current advocacy efforts for gender equality and human rights globally. This is an in-person viewing, however participants may also join virtually.

Still celebrating #WomensHistoryMonth, we are featuring Meharry Medical College alumna Kayla J. Rayford, PhD. Rayford is hoping all her dedicated energy –graduating from a medical college and soon attending a law school – will place her in the heart of the intersection of medical science, innovation, and entrepreneurship. “I’m a patent professional. I want to become a patent agent, go to law school, and become a patent attorney,” Rayford said. She is currently living in the Metro D.C. area working as a technical specialist in the field of patent law at Ballard Spahr. At Meharry, Dr. Rayford worked in Dr. Pius Nde's laboratory, where she studied the relationship between Chagas disease and how the intracellular protozoa bury into the body from the bite of a Triatomine bug. People develop Chagas disease from the feces of the Triatomine bug. Often, people drive the protozoa into their bodies by itching the bug bite. Symptoms include fever, tiredness, body aches, headache, rash, loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting and eyelid swelling. Dr. Rayford earned her bachelor’s in biology from Bowie State College, took a gap year, then went to Meharry Medical College. At Ballard Spahr, she’s gaining invaluable experience that will help her in attending law school part-time. “I figure it will take about four or five years,” she said. But Dr. Rayford is patient, knowing that all her hard work will pay off. “I announced I was going into law school when I gave my dissertation,” Dr. Rayford said. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with friends and traveling. Last summer, she went on an extended trip to Europe visiting London, Paris, Florence, Italy, and Switzerland. #FollowUsforMore #WomensHistoryMonth #BlackHistory365 #WomenInMedicine #Trailblazer #HealthcareEquity #LegacyOfCare #LeadershipInAction #AfricanAmericanPioneers #campaign150 #MeharryandMeForeveronthePath
