Dr. Mecham’s retirement symposium

The departments of Cell Biology and Physiology and of Pediatrics at the Washington University School of Medicine held a symposium on Nov 11, 2022 to honor Dr. Robert Mecham and celebrate his retirement at the end of this year. Dr. Mecham was Dr. Wagenseil’s postdoctoral mentor and taught her how to ask interesting scientific questions for her and how to support her staff and students. Research presentations by past Mecham lab members were followed by a Mecham lab reunion. We will miss you, Bob!
