Lab Members

The Wenthur Lab is proud to include researchers from a wide range of personal and professional backgrounds. We believe that an inclusive, supportive environment is a necessary foundation for accomplishing significant scientific, clinical, and academic progress. Our insights are stronger when they are developed from multiple perspectives, and our lives are richer when our friends and colleagues provide us with a chance to learn from their experiences.

We invite you to look through our member biographies to learn more about our members’ individual interests and expertise.
