Dana Powell Baker
The Power List 2021 – Leading Roles
An Assistant Professor of Clinical Laboratory Sciences at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Dana is always struck by colleagues who share with her the impact she has had on their journey. “It’s a reminder for me that we never know who is watching us or the lives we are influencing through the work we are doing.” If she were not a laboratory professional, Dana would be “a chef… no doubt about it. I love anything related to food.” To new or aspiring laboratorians, she says, “Identify a mentor and begin growing your network of mentors.”
