Stanford Bio-X is now accepting Letters of Intent for the 9th Round of the Stanford Bio-X Interdisciplinary Initiatives Seed Grants Program!
Letters of Intent must be received by March 19, 2018 at 5:00 pm PST.
BRUCE EDGAR, UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
The Edgar lab uses genetics to characterize the programs of cell growth and proliferation that occur during development, regeneration and tumorigenesis, with the goal of finding the genes that act as limiting regulators in each context.
HUDA AKIL, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Dr. Akil's research program is uncovering some molecular players that are not “the usual suspects”, thereby providing possibilities for new biomarkers and novel drug targets in the treatment of Major Depression.
ALAN SCHATZBERG, DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY & BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES
Attend Dr. Schatzberg's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Huda Akil's seminar, "Molecular, Genetic and Neural Mechanisms of Moods and Emotions", to be held Thursday, March 8th.
The Stanford Bio-X Leadership Council is pleased to announce the 15th annual competition for Stanford Bio-X Graduate Student Fellowships and for Stanford Neurosciences Institute and Stanford ChEM-H Fellowships.
Complete applications must be received by February 26, 2018 at 5:00 pm PST.
The Clemons lab is primarily interested in understanding the molecular details of life and as a tool we focus on “structural biology”. They currently work on problems related to protein transport across membranes and post-translational modification of proteins. The lab primarily uses X-ray crystallography but also works with biochemistry, microbiology, mass spectrometry and electron microscopy.
KATHIE HARRIS, UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA
Dr. Harris will describe the interdisciplinary design of The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health and what has been learned by merging social and biological data on the health of young adults in America.
BEN DOMINGUE, GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Attend Dr. Domingue's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Kathie Harris's seminar, "Social, Behavioral, and Biological Linkages in Young Adult Health", to be held Thursday, February 8th.
Dr. Piel's team studies cell polarization, a process which involves a reorganization of the cell cytoskeleton and movement of cellular organelles, usually triggered by external cues. They are particularly interested in cell polarity in the context of cell migration and cell division.
