Building meaningful connections, our mentorship programs foster professional development and personal growth for trainees and faculty. Through guidance, collaboration and shared experience, we aim to strengthen skills, expand networks and support success across the WashU Medicine community.

Reducing stress and improving focus, Move into Mindfulness offers free programs for WashU employees year-round. From Mind Body Stress Reduction series and drop-in sessions to healing workshops and a curated mindfulness library, these resources provide practical skills for balance and well-being.

Advancing imaging research and innovation, the Molecular Microbiology Imaging Facility provides resources, expertise and collaborative opportunities for scientists and clinicians. From cutting-edge imaging technologies to data analysis tools and training programs, this platform supports multidisciplinary efforts to improve diagnostics, treatment and understanding of complex biological systems.

Investigating actin cytoskeleton’s role in immune cell shape and motility our lab studies how dynamic changes in the actin cytoskeleton regulate immune cell movement and activation. Using models lacking the actin-binding protein L-plastin we explore its role in B cells and alveolar macrophages and employ pneumococcal infection models to uncover mechanisms that impact immune defense in children.

Research profile

Supporting advanced genetic research, the Mouse Genetics Core provides comprehensive services for generating and analyzing genetically engineered mouse models. From custom transgenic and knockout models to CRISPR-based genome editing, the core offers expertise and state-of-the-art technologies that enable investigators to explore gene function and disease mechanisms with precision.

Blending expert guidance with innovative programming, MOVE by BJC offers a unique approach to health and wellness. From tailored workouts and group classes to holistic support, our experience is designed to help you build strength, improve balance and achieve your goals in a welcoming environment.

Harnessing data science and artificial intelligence to prevent neonatal brain injury, our lab focuses on understanding neurological damage in newborns and developing predictive tools to guide neuroprotective strategies. By integrating large multimodal datasets — including EHR, NIRS, EEG, MRI and vital signs — we study mechanisms of injury in preterm and term infants and design AI-driven algorithms to improve bedside care. Through clinical trials and collaborative research, we aim to transform outcomes for the most vulnerable patients.

Research profile

Imparting the knowledge, skills, and leadership needed to excel as clinical neonatologists, this ACGME-accredited three-year program includes 13 months of inpatient clinical service and nearly two years of protected research time.

Preparing sub-specialist pediatricians for academic careers, this three-year program concentrates clinical responsibilities in the first year and provides opportunities for both clinical and basic science research during the following two years. Each fellow is carefully placed in a thriving research environment tailored to their background and interests to optimize success.

Supporting children with kidney and blood pressure disorders through expert, family-centered care our team provides advanced diagnostics and therapies for a wide range of conditions. With more than 3,500 visits annually, we focus on promoting understanding and independence while fostering healthy physical and emotional development.
