The Rainbow Alliance for Life Sciences and Medicine is an independent initiative of students, doctors, employees, and scientists at CeMM, the Medical University and AKH Vienna, as well as the research institutes at the Vienna Biocenter. Under the motto "Diversity is in our DNA" the alliance aims to show that while our genome is composed of just four letters — A, T, G, and C — their combinations create an immense complexity and, thus, the wonderful diversity among humans.

The mission of the LSM alliance has two main objectives:

• To highlight the rich diversity of individuals working in science and medicine and to promote equality, visibility, and acceptance within the medical-academic community.
• To raise awareness about diversity and gender issues that impact clinical practice, patient health and research in the life sciences.

Congratulations to a successful start and the participation in the Vienna Pride Parade on 8 June 2024! 
We are proud of our diversity and inclusiveness at CeMM and thank the organizers for their commitment and great initiative.
