Who We Are

QTABS is a trainee-led organization supported by the Inclusive Excellence Leadership Award from the UCI School of Biological Sciences Office of DEI.
We are a collective of LGBTQIA+ and allied graduate, post-doctoral, and staff researchers within the biological and biomedical fields at UC Irvine.
Our events are open to all trainees who wish to build an affirming research community spanning the many disciplines that interact with biology, health, and medicine.
