As the Women of Color (WOC) STEM Conference's 28th anniversary approaches, WOC Online invites you to join us in celebrating the 2023 WOC STEM Honorees, Rising Stars, and Technology All-stars.

These individuals have made significant contributions to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and are highly respected in their respective fields.

Women of Color Online is a platform that shares inspiring stories of award-winning women featured in Women of Color magazine.

One such woman is Yagna Pathak, Ph.D., a medical science manager at Abbott's Neuromodulation division, who is revolutionizing healthcare through neural technology.

Pathak's love for neuroscience and technology has led her to improve brain therapies. Despite the underrepresentation of women of color in the field, Pathak's determination led her to pursue a Ph.D. in neural engineering.

At Abbott, Pathak's team developed the NeuroSphere™ Virtual Clinic to enhance patient experiences. They also address socioeconomic disparities in care access, reflecting their patient-centric approach.

As a woman of color in STEM, Pathak emphasizes the importance of passion, strategy, and mentorship for young scientists. She strives to create a more inclusive workforce and believes in the potential of neural technology to revolutionize healthcare.

Join us in recognizing and celebrating the 2023 Women of Color STEM Award Winners.
