In her talk, Erika Moore will explore how her work as a biomedical engineer connects health research with practical tools to empower students. She will share how her lab is advancing treatments for diseases like lupus by studying macrophage immune cells and how they behave in different biomaterial environments. She will then discuss Moore Wealth, the nonprofit she created to help students from underrepresented backgrounds build financial confidence and make the most of their opportunities in STEM. By combining cutting-edge science with personal finance education, she aims to show how we can transform STEM fields to be more inclusive and impactful for everyone.
