The Sorrells Lab was established in August 2024 within the Preston M. Green Department of Electrical & Systems Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis.
Our research is focused on developing the next generation of optical imaging technologies to investigate previously inaccessible biological phenomena.
If you are interested in joining the lab, please email sjanet@wustl.edu with your CV and a description of research interests. Students interested in graduate positions should additionally submit an application online to their desired program.
