Building Inclusive and Affirming Interactions at UW Medicine
Using individuals’ pronouns is fundamental to respectful, inclusive, and affirming interactions across UW Medicine, with our colleagues, students, and patients. Many of our community members make mistakes at times, are corrected, and genuinely apologize. However, to truly improve, we need structured and supportive opportunities to practice. These opportunities are not typically available in our day-to-day interactions.
This monthly training series provides ongoing opportunities to practice and receive feedback from experts and supportive colleagues to improve pronoun competency. Remember, practice makes perfect and you may attend these sessions as often as you would like. Registration for each group is capped at 20 to allow for individualized practice and feedback. The goal is to foster inclusion and belonging for every member of our UW Medicine community, with emphasis on supporting those who do not use he/his or she/her pronouns.

Dr. Claudia Vasquez’s laboratory investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying functional organ development. Her research centers on the Malpighian tubules, the renal system of fruit flies, which undergo remarkable transformations in cell shape and organization to form elongated structures responsible for urine production.
Using cutting-edge techniques in cell and tissue biology, genome editing, and advanced imaging, Dr. Vasquez explores how the reorganization of molecular architecture and structural protein networks drives cellular morphology changes. This fundamental research has significant translational potential, potentially informing strategies for engineering functional organs for transplantation.
Moreover, as Malpighian tubules are essential organs in disease-transmitting insects, her findings could reveal novel targets for controlling vectors of diseases like dengue and malaria. This dual application in both organ transplantation technology and infectious disease control underscores the broad impact of her pioneering research.
