Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Inclusion Is Everyone’s Responsibility


We are on a mission to improve patients’ health by accelerating life-saving R&D with AI. We believe that to achieve our mission, we must follow an interdisciplinary approach, which requires a team with a variety of expertise and lived experiences. Therefore, not only do we believe DEI is the right thing to do, it is an integral part of our business strategy, ingrained in our values, and critical for our success.


Work is a fundamental aspect of living a meaningful life, and as an employer, we aim to create an environment where employees feel safe and fulfilled. We acknowledge systems of oppression and marginalization exist in the world, and as a company, we work to interrupt those systems. We have a responsibility to build an environment for team members that is compassionate, understanding, and free from discrimination. Therefore, we expect every team member to actively embrace this, and engage across differences, strive to understand one another, and collaborate to make BenchSci antiracist, fair, and harmonious for all identities so that each person can do the best work [of their life].

Delivering on ambitious DEI goals at a rapidly scaling company can be a unique challenge. It really only works if the CEO and senior leadership are personally invested; driving systematic change across an entire organization starts at the top. We're fortunate to have that kind of leadership here at BenchSci. Christopher Guest Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Connect with others who share your perspective

 Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide opportunities for team members with shared identities and lived experiences to connect and have their voices heard. These employee-led groups aim to create a sense of belonging amongst marginalized groups and inform our business on creating more inclusive policies and practices. Each ERG is supported by designated executive sponsors.
