Dedicated to improving the lives of individuals affected by HIV, Project ARK provides comprehensive care, support services and community outreach. Through clinical programs, education and research initiatives, Project ARK works to ensure access to treatment, promote prevention, and advance understanding of HIV/AIDS in the St. Louis region and beyond.

Helping individuals understand implicit attitudes, Project Implicit offers research-based assessments that reveal unconscious preferences and stereotypes. Through online tests and educational resources, the platform promotes self-awareness and supports efforts to reduce bias in personal and professional settings.

Supporting faculty through the promotion process we provide guidance and resources to help individuals meet professional milestones in research, education and clinical care. Our goal is to ensure transparency and foster success across the WashU Medicine community.

Providing expert care for children with rheumatic and immune disorders our team delivers comprehensive evaluations and treatment across four specialty clinics and inpatient services. With more than 4,000 visits annually and access to advanced diagnostic testing, we combine multidisciplinary expertise with collaborative care to manage complex conditions.

Pediatric Clinical Immunology Program • Clinics

Providing comprehensive evaluation and treatment for children with rheumatologic disorders and immunodeficiencies, we combine compassionate care with access to innovative clinical research. Our team is committed to advancing therapies, fostering collaboration and training future leaders through rigorous fellowship programs.

Providing an intensive introduction to clinical rheumatology, this three-year ACGME-accredited program offers a first year focused on comprehensive clinical training, followed by two years that allow fellows to concentrate primarily on research.

Fighting multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae our lab investigates the pathogenesis of this urgent CDC and WHO priority pathogen and works toward vaccine development. We study classical and hypervirulent strains using mouse models of pneumonia and urinary tract infection to understand virulence factors including capsular types, O-antigens and the fimK regulatory gene. With over 300 clinical isolates in our repository we aim to identify strategies that inhibit virulence or prevent infection through effective vaccines.

Research profile

Unveiling ERp29's crucial role in correcting biogenesis defects, our laboratory investigates how small molecules enhance the function of mutant proteins that disrupt normal protein folding and trafficking. Building on discoveries in cystic fibrosis ion channel biology, we now explore broader mechanisms of protein biogenesis regulation across diverse inherited diseases, aiming to identify therapeutic strategies that restore cellular balance.

Research profile

Exploring the molecular signals behind liver regeneration, our laboratory investigates how this remarkable organ restores both structure and function after injury or disease. Using rodent partial hepatectomy and complementary models, we focus on extrahepatic factors that regulate liver mass and regenerative capacity. Translating these insights to human liver disorders, we have identified a novel metabolomic marker with potential to predict clinical outcomes in pediatric acute liver failure, bridging fundamental research with real-world impact.
