The following list of experienced WashU faculty have expressed interest in, and are passionate about, supporting postbaccalaureate and/or STEP- UP scholars in their labs. This is not an exhaustive list and does not guarantee that the mentor is currently available to accept scholars into their lab.
If you have identified a WashU mentor that is not on this list, please contact us to seek final approval.
