Meet our New Faculty Race Equity Lead

The Faculty of Brain Sciences is delighted to announce the appointment of our new Race Equity Lead, Bilal Malik.

Bilal says upon appointment:

It is a real pleasure to take on the role of Faculty Race Equity Lead. I am delighted to be given this opportunity and hopefully, I can carry on the good work performed by the previous leads.

I work in the Department of Neuromuscular Diseases at the Queen Square Institute of Neurology (IoN). At the Institute I am involved with the Equity Diversity and Inclusion action groups. Through this role, I wish to support students and staff from ethnic minorities in order for them to achieve success in their studies and careers whilst at UCL. I hope I can provide help in closing the BAME attainment gap, remove racial inequalities and promote UCL as an inclusive diverse place of learning.

If you are interested in joining the Faculty’s Race Equity Team to progress meaningful change with Bilal, please contact the Brain Sciences EDI Team at: FBS.EDI@ucl.ac.uk.
