Research Profiles is a publicly accessible and searchable knowledge base for exploring the expertise, interests, and publications of the faculty, departments, institutes, and centers at WashU Medicine. Since its launch in 2019, Research Profiles has served as a valuable resource for faculty, staff, students, administrators, leaders, and external stakeholders to identify collaborators, mentors, and experts and promote the visibility and impact of WashU Medicine research.

Beginning in 2025, Research Profiles will expand to include all full-time faculty at WashU as part of WashU’s Here and Next strategic plan. Expansion efforts will be carried out in collaboration by Becker Library and WashU Libraries with support and leadership from the Digital Intelligence and Innovation Accelerator and the Office of the Provost.

The panel serves as an opportunity for attendees to learn about an existing service at Becker Library and a new service at Olin Library.
