Stanford Bio-X would like to announce our call for applications for the Undergraduate Summer Research Program with funding available starting in the summer of 2019 (June 24th through August 30th).
Complete applications must be received, not postmarked, by December 7, 2018 at 5:00 pm PST.
The Gladfelter lab is interested in how cells are organized in time and space. They study how cytoplasm is spatially patterned and how cells sense their own shape. They also investigate how timing in the cell division cycle can be highly variable yet still accurate. For their work, we combine quantitative live cell microscopy and computational, genetic and biochemical approaches in fungal and mammalian cells.

Dr. Daria Mochly-Rosen founded the SPARK program to provide a cost-effective model to generate proof of concept using industry standards. Since 2006, SPARK has advanced scores of new diagnostics and drugs to the clinic and commercial sectors and educated hundreds of faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students on the translational process. Dr. Mochly-Rosen's research lab is a multi-disciplinary lab that includes chemists, biochemists, biologists and physician scientists. They develop pharmacological agents and apply them to understand molecular and cellular events under basal and disease conditions using in vitro, in culture and in vivo models.

Recent studies have demonstrated that in addition to biochemical and genetic interactions, cellular systems also respond to biophysical cues, such as electrical, thermal, and mechanical signals. However, we only have limited tools that can introduce localized physical stimuli and/or sense cellular responses with high spatiotemporal resolution. Dr. Tian's group integrates material science with biophysics to study several semiconductor-based biointerfaces.

Imaging fluorescently-labeled DNA in live cells with nanoscale precision shows significant promise as a diagnostic tool; however, the intrinsically stochastic nature of biological systems limits our ability to interpret meaningful signals from the noise. Here we discuss the implementation of advanced, 3D microscopy into an imaging flow cytometer and the unique calibration protocol we developed, in which we rely on statistical distributions rather than the unattainable static ground-truth. We demonstrate our system on live yeast cells, attaining 3D spatial information with orders of magnitude higher throughput than previous methods.
