Dr. Laurencin’s “The COVID-19 Pandemic: a Call to Action to Identify and Address Racial and Ethnic Disparities” Publication Made Springer Nature’s 2020 Highlights | The Cato T. Laurencin Institute for Regenerative Engineering

In April 2020, Dr. Cato Laurencin and Dr. Aneesah McClinton published the first peer reviewed paper outlining the disproportionate levels of COVID-19 in the Black community. Since then, the paper has had such an impact that it made Springer Nature’s 2020 Highlights.

The Highlights represent a selection of the most popular articles and book chapters published and reflect top research that made an impact throughout the year. The COVID-19 Pandemic: a Call to Action to Identify and Address Racial and Ethnic Disparities was one of six in the public health space to be highlighted.
