Eric Warren II, a Master of Science in Biotechnology student at Morehouse School of Medicine and a member of the Health Equity Tracker team, was the featured spotlight in this week's eResearch Update from MSM's Office of Research Development. The Division of Graduate Education in Biomedical Sciences (GEBS) recognized Eric, who is finishing the General Biotechnology track and expects to graduate in December 2026.
The spotlight highlights scholarship that connects technology, public health, and health equity. Eric co-authored the poster “Encoding Equity: The Health Equity Tracker's SEED Program as a Model for Expanding Access to Technology Careers While Advancing Health Data Justice,” presented at the 2026 Daniel S. Blumenthal, MD, MPH Public Health Symposium. He also co-authored “Understanding Geospatial Disparities in HIV Care and Prevention: Insights from the Health Equity Tracker,” presented at the 2025 American Public Health Association Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
Eric also wrote “Equity in Every Room: Reflections from the 2026 Blumenthal Symposium,” published by the Satcher Health Leadership Institute. In it, he considers why equity-centered technology matters for making health disparity data accessible and useful to communities.
GEBS described his work as an example of the interdisciplinary scholarship and service it hopes to cultivate in its students. We're proud to work alongside Eric and congratulate him on the recognition.
