JOCHEN ZIMMER, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
The Zimmer lab focuses on complex carbohydrates and how they are synthesized and deposited on the cell surface. Using the tools of structural and molecular biology, they study capsule and biofilm formation in bacteria, cell wall biosynthesis in plants, and extracellular matrix formation in vertebrates.
LYNETTE CEGELSKI, DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY
Attend Dr. Cegelski's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Jochen Zimmer's seminar, "Sugary coats: Diverse mechanisms of complex carbohydrate secretion", to be held Thursday, February 14th.
JOIN US FOR A STANFORD BIO-X POSTER SESSION!
STANLEY QI, DEPARTMENTS OF BIOENGINEERING AND CHEMICAL & SYSTEMS BIOLOGY
Dr. Qi is a pioneer in the CRISPR technology development for genome engineering. His research laboratory focuses on the bioengineering of genetics and cells. They are interested in developing genetic engineering technologies and exploring discovery-based synthetic biology for diverse applications, and explore how the human genome encodes functions, and how to rationally design genetic circuits for new therapeutics.
Dr. Darlene Solomon is senior vice president and chief technology officer for Agilent Technologies. Her responsibilities include Agilent Research Laboratories which focuses on high impact, longer range research in support of Agilent's sustained business growth, and Agilent's programs in university relations, external research and venture investment. In her leadership role, she works closely with Agilent's businesses to define the company's technology strategy and R&D priorities.
The Ünal lab studies the principles that control the nuclear and cytoplasmic integrity of gametes. They are interested in understanding the principles and regulation of meiotic differentiation.
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.
AMY GLADFELTER, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA
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.
