Outstanding Mentoring through the Generations: Clinical Sciences
At Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM), outstanding mentoring is pervasive, with wide-ranging influence in both the scientific and clinical arenas. Many great scientists and clinicians frequently give credit to a mentor or multiple mentors who provided guidance, encouragement, and support – both professionally and personally. Many of these mentoring relationships last throughout a lifetime and can span many generations, as is illustrated below.

The Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) in the Department of Neurology at WUSM is one of 29 centers funded or otherwise supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), with the collective aim of facilitating advanced research on clinical, genetic, neuropathological, neuroanatomical, biomedical, psychosocial, and neuropsychological aspects of Alzheimer's disease and related brain disorders. The WUSM ADRC and its clinical research arm, the Memory and Aging Project (MAP), are at the forefront of a worldwide effort to uncover key causal factors in the development of Alzheimer's disease, with a goal of developing more effective treatments and an eventual cure.
