Allan Mora

Allan is a sophomore at Washington University in St. Louis, studying genomics and computational biology, as well as sociology, and is expected to graduate in May 2026. His research interests are centered around cardiology, driven by personal family experiences and the desire to make a difference in the field. While his specific area of focus within cardiology is still evolving, he is eager to immerse himself in research opportunities to broaden his understanding of medicine and contribute meaningfully to the field. While at WashU, Allan has served as an assistant for the First-Year Summer Academic Program, a program that helps first-generation college students acclimate to their new environment. He is also a member of the WashU STEM Education Association; Taylor STARS, a program that supports students from first-generation and/or low-income backgrounds; and NOIR Collective, an affinity group for Black creatives at WashU. In his free time, Allan likes to watch movies, raise cattle, and spend time with his family and pets.
