Sara Serritella, ITM Director of Communications and founding Science Communications Instructor at the University of Chicago, highlighted how the ITM and its partners have used these approaches in the award-winning Save Da Hoomans campaign that’s fueled by the National Institutes of Health National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, as well as how anyone can use these skills to improve their lives.

Serritella draws on her experience as a private detective at her family’s firm, Vantius, and her more than a decade as an award-winning storyteller helping renowned physicians and researchers secure millions of dollars in funding and better connect with the public at large. She teaches courses across UChicago’s medical school, graduate school, and undergraduate college that give students direct applications of investigation strategies to science, medicine, and beyond.
