Stanford Profile

Dr. Cegelski's Department of Chemistry Profile

Dr. Cegelski's Lab Homepage

Dr. Cegelski's research program integrates chemistry, biology, and physics to investigate the assembly and function of macromolecular and whole-cell systems.
Luis Hernandez-Nunez - Assistant Professor of Biology

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

Dr. Hernandez-Nunez's Lab Homepage

Dr. Luis Hernandez-Nunez's lab seeks to uncover the fundamental principles of brain–body communication and whole-organism homeostasis. They combine genetics, optical physiology, systems neuroscience, engineering, and computational modeling to reveal how neural circuits across the body coordinate physiology and behavior.
Luis de Lecea - Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Sleep Center)

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

CAP Profile

Dr. de Lecea's Lab Homepage

Dr. de Lecea's laboratory uses molecular, optogenetic, anatomical and behavioral methods to identify and manipulate the neuronal circuits underlying brain arousal, with particular attention to sleep and wakefulness transitions.
Lucy Shapiro - Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor of Developmental Biology

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

CAP Profile

Department of Developmental Biology Homepage

Dr. Shapiro's laboratory question in developmental biology involves the mechanisms used to generate the three-dimensional organization of a cell from a one-dimensional genetic code.
Lucy O'Brien - Associate Professor of Molecular and Cellular Physiology

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

Stanford Profile

Dr. O' Brien's Lab Homepage

The O'Brien Lab studies the behaviors of stem cells and their mature progeny to understand how organs remodel and renew.
Lu Chen - Professor of Neurosurgery and of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences

Bio-X Affiliated Faculty

Stanford Profile

Dr. Chen's Lab Homepage

The long-term goal of Dr. Chen's research is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie synapse function during behavior in the developing and mature brain, and how synapse function is altered during mental retardation.
