Welcome to the Marti Lab at Washington University in St. Louis
The Marti Lab builds next-generation imaging tools and AI methods to track how health, aging, and disease unfold deep inside living organisms, over weeks to lifetimes.
Interested in joining us?
We are actively recruiting researchers (postdocs, staff, and graduate/MSTP/undergraduate students) from biology, physics, engineering, and computer science who share our excitement for deep-tissue imaging. Our team works on:
- building novel 3D and super-resolution ultrasound systems,
- developing deep learning algorithms for 3D biological data,
- designing and running mouse experiments on aging and disease, and
- analyzing rich, longitudinal datasets of tissue structure and function.
We work closely with every lab member to develop the skills, confidence, and creativity needed to explore the intersection of biology, technology, and AI. You’ll gain hands‑on experience designing and machining custom instruments, pushing the limits of ultrasound imaging, crafting AI‑driven analysis pipelines, and performing in vivo rodent imaging that converts raw data into biological insight. Whatever your background, we value curiosity, kindness, humor, and the joy of discovery.
Who is Marti?
I am Ed Marti, an assistant professor at WashU in the department of Cell Biology and Physiology. I originally studied quantum physics, precision measurement, and atomic clocks. Since then, I have become excited about using my background in precision science to build new ultrasound platforms and peer inside living organisms. Whether you are interested in joining, a potential collaborator, or just browsing, I hope you will connect with us to learn more about our research or our team.
