Real Researchers, Working in the Areas They Teach
Every course is built by people actively working in that research area, and every summer project is guided by a live mentor — not a teaching assistant reading from a syllabus.
NSM Academy is a new organization and doesn't have confirmed mentors yet. Rather than show placeholder names, this page describes the kind of mentor we're recruiting for each area — real profiles will be added here as people join.
Building Our Founding Mentor Network
We're actively recruiting mentors across all six research areas. Below is the kind of background we're looking for in each — as real mentors join, their profiles will replace this table.
Are You a Researcher or Clinician?
We're always recruiting mentors across all six research areas. Mentoring one or two students a summer is a real, manageable commitment — not a second job — and it's paid: mentors receive a stipend for their time. Work in a disease area we haven't listed yet? These six aren't fixed — if you think a different area belongs in the Academy, we'd like to hear the case for it.
