In this inspiring interview, Dr. Stanley Andrisse shares his remarkable journey "From Prison Cells to PhD" with Dave Hollenbach, host of the show "From Embers to Excellence". Dr. Andrisse, an endocrinologist scientist and assistant professor at Howard University College of Medicine, talks about his experience as an inmate in a maximum-security prison and the psychological toll of the justice system that left him feeling hopeless and without a way forward.
However, Dr. Andrisse's story takes a turn when a mentor recognized his hard work and determination and took him under his wing. Since then, Dr. Andrisse has made it his mission to help other inmates take the same path to success. He founded the non-profit organization "From Prison Cells to Ph.D." and is a board member of the Formerly Incarcerated College Graduates Network (FICGN).
Dr. Andrisse also shares the personal story that led him to a career in endocrinology and researching diabetes. His passion for helping others, combined with his professional expertise, has earned him several service commitments, including being a youth mentor, motivational speaker, and community activist.
Tune in to learn about how STEM-OPS chose Dr. Andrisse's non-profit to grant a 5-year, $5.2 million award and how he has dedicated his life to leadership excellence and making a positive impact on his community.
