Sustainability
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Our research group recognizes the importance of sustainability in general, including the urgency of climate action and diversity issues in today's world. We are committed to conducting excellent research in a sustainable manner. We believe that research (in endothelial cell biology or other fields) that improves wellbeing should not at the same time contribute to societal harm and environmental degradation. To conduct research in an environmentally and socially responsible manner, our group follows a sustainability strategy, which is tightly aligned with the University of Hull guidance and 2027 strategy for carbon neutrality. Our research group's strategy for sustainability focuses on reducing waste, increasing efficiency of energy use, development of humanised in vitro models, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, embedding sustainable procurement, and supporting diversity and inclusivity.
