LAB MEMBERS

Sherwin is a third year graduate student in the Medical Scientist Training Program. He joined the Rentschler lab in May 2021, as a member of the Molecular Cell Biology program. He received his B.S. in Biological Sciences from Cornell University in 2017. He is currently working on a project investigating the therapeutic effects of radiotherapy on cardiac electrical conduction. Outside of lab he likes spending time with friends and family and drinking boba.

Jennifer is a second-year graduate student in the Biomedical Engineering PhD Program. She joined the lab in June 2023. She received her B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2022. She is currently working on the Additional Ventures Cures Collaborative, which aims to create a cure for single ventricle disease using micro-heart tissues. In her free time, she spends time exploring St. Louis and volunteering at non-profit organizations.

Brian joined the Rentschler Lab in July 2023. Brian is from Salt Lake City, Utah. He completed his BS and MD/PhD at the University of Utah in Biomedical Engineering. His research dissertation research focused on detection of acute myocardial ischemia from the torso surface using electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) confirmed with translational animal models. His current research interests include radiotherapy treatment for ventricular tachycardia combined with ECGI and cardiac computational simulation. His clinical interests are in cardiac electrophysiology. In his free time you will find him outside with his partner and two dogs running, skiing, biking, hiking, or on the water.

Abby is a medical student at WashU and a current Sarnoff research fellow. She joined the Rentschler lab in July 2024 and is currently working on a project investigating the therapeutic effects of radiation in ventricular tachycardia. She received her B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Notre Dame, where she also competed on the women’s varsity golf team.

Aryan joined the Rentschler Lab in November 2022. He is currently pursuing a degree in Biology with a minor in Healthcare Management.

Sneha joined the Rentschler Lab in September 2023. She is pursuing a degree in Chemistry: Biochemistry with a minor in Mathematics and German. She is currently working on a project investigating radiotherapy treatment for ventricular tachycardia. Outside of the lab, she likes to run, spend time with friends, and volunteer!

Jane joined the Rentschler Lab in July 2024. She is a junior majoring in Neuroscience with a Global Health minor. Her research interests include electrophysiology and the nervous system’s role in cardiovascular mechanisms. Outside of lab, she enjoys dancing on WashU Hip Hop Union, eating yummy food, and taking long walks at Forest Park.
