Dr. Shereka Banton develops cutting edge medical products and works closely with pharmaceutical companies to deliver them at Becton Dickinson, a multinational medical technology company. Throughout her career, Banton has been focused on integrating biomedical research and public policy to reduce inequities in medicine and science. While majoring in biomedical engineering at Georgia Tech, Banton conducted research on sickle cell disease in what was then President Barabino’s lab. Banton focused on the biomechanical underpinnings of the disease but also the sociological context. Banton eventually earned her PhD in biomedical engineering and subsequently joined the Johnson and Johnson company and supported the company’s global surgical medical device business.
