G6PD deficiency affects about 400M people worldwide and can pose serious health risks. Uncovering the causes of the most severe cases could finally lead to treatments. Research by Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty members Soichi Wakatsuki and Daria Mochly-Rosen has identified one of the molecular mechanisms behind them.

Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty member Stephen Luby's research group found that a remediation and public education effort at an abandoned battery recycling facility in Bangladesh eliminated most lead soil contamination, but levels of the toxic metal in children living near the site did not decrease nearly as much. The discrepancy reveals the scope of other lead exposure sources and the challenge they present to public health.

Flooding has caused hundreds of billions of dollars in damage in the U.S. over the past three decades. Researchers under Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty member Marshall Burke found that 36 percent of the costs of flooding in the U.S. from 1988 to 2017 were a result of intensifying precipitation, consistent with predictions of global warming.

In traditional electronics, separate chips process and store data, wasting energy as they toss data back and forth over what engineers call a “memory wall.” New algorithms from Bio-X affiliated faculty members Subhasish Mitra and H.-S. Philip Wong combine several energy-efficient hybrid chips to create the illusion of one mega–AI chip.

The new device, developed by Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty members Tom Soh, Eric Appel and Jelena Vuckovic with Stanford Bio-X Bowes Fellows Caitlin Maikawa and Alexander Yoshikawa, can continuously sense levels of virtually any protein or molecule in the blood. The researchers say it could be transformative for disease detection, patient monitoring and biomedical research.

Clark Center building resident and Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty member Sergiu Pasca, collaborating with Stanford Bio-X affiliated faculty member Hannes Vogel, used human stem cells to assemble a working nerve circuit connecting brain tissue to muscle tissue. The research, which was supported by Stanford Bio-X, could enable scientists to better understand neurological disorders that affect movement.
