Ronnie Sebro

February 1, 2023 Leave a Comment

Photo of Ronnie Sebro. He is wearing glasses, a dark suit and white shirt. He also has a mustache.

Ronnie Sebro grew up in Tobago, a small Caribbean Island, the third of six children. He was the first student from Tobago to receive a National Scholarship in the Sciences from the Government of Trinidad and Tobago. He graduated summa cum laude with a degree in biology and minor in mathematics from Morehouse College. He was also the first student at Morehouse to receive the Howard Hughes Medical Institute predoctoral fellowship. Sebro’s career differs from most statisticians because he decided to go to medical school during graduate school. He spent his junior faculty years at the University of Pennsylvania and joined the Mayo Clinic in December of 2020. Recently, he was promoted to professor of biostatistics and professor of musculoskeletal radiology. He was humbled to learn he is one of a handful of Black male biostatistics professors and simultaneously one of few Black male radiology professors in the United States. This was one of the proudest moments in his life, second only to the birth of his son and marrying his wife.
