Noah Wolthausen
Head of Healthcare Innovation
Noah is Head of Healthcare Innovation at BioSTL Global, leading the organization's Global Innovation Advisory practice — connecting national and international health innovators with U.S. health system and payer organizations to accelerate market entry and strengthen St. Louis's position as a hub for global healthcare innovation.
By training, Noah is an infectious disease epidemiologist with a Master of Public Health from Washington University in St. Louis. His early career was grounded in population health and disease surveillance — including work focused on HIV and Hepatitis C in incarcerated populations — before moving into applied epidemiological research. At the E3 Nutrition Lab at Washington University, a nationally recognized NIH-funded research program, he led population health analytics supporting a $5M randomized controlled trial examining child growth and enteric disease burden in Cap Haïtien, Haiti, co-authoring a published manuscript on the driving factors of high infectious disease burden in children under five.
Prior to that, Noah served in the Peace Corps as a Public Health Officer in Pogradec, Albania, where he designed and built healthcare delivery infrastructure for rural and underserved communities across ten surrounding villages — coordinating with local health centers to expand access to essential services for vulnerable and minority populations. He also led the development and grant-writing for the first community fitness center in his region, establishing a dedicated space for women and girls to safely engage in physical activity, a project that has sustained well beyond his service.
Noah earned a Bachelor of Science in Medical Anthropology from Wagner College, where he played Division I lacrosse for the Seahawks on an academic and athletic scholarship.
