We are excited to welcome enquiries for rotations from Ph.D./MSTP students enrolled at Washington University from Fall 2024. If you are an interested student, please don't hesitate to contact me for further information. We will be recruiting 1-2 graduate student(s) every year through the DBBS program.

We look forward to welcoming passionate students who are eager to contribute to our research and thrive in a supportive learning environment. As a new lab, we understand that not all information may be available about us. However, we have some useful resources to share:

• Lab Rotation FAQ document to provide some insights about rotations, general expectations and what we would aim to provide you during the rotation. 

• Career and professional development plan: We are committed to providing all trainees with a nurturing environment that fosters scientific creativity. At the same time, I do not want anyone to lose sight of their long-term career goals. Every lab trainee will be required to complete a personal development plan to help strategize and ensure that you are taking steps towards career development. We will work towards personalizing this plan for your needs. 

• Lab handbook: Our detailed handbook will be provided upon request. Here we provide an overview of general vision and expectations.

• PI provides snacks!

• PI also makes really lame jokes...

• Also check out this nice article by the inspiring Ben A. Barres on choosing a graduate mentor.

We are a young lab and would like to ensure a good fit between your career goals, lab research program and mentorship. Check out mentoring page to learn about our mentorship philosophy.
