Dr. Jonathan Long is an Assistant Professor of Pathology and an Institute Scholar of Stanford ChEM-H (Chemistry, Engineering & Medicine for Human Health). Prior to arriving to Stanford in 2018, Dr. Long completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry at Scripps Research his postdoctoral work at Harvard Medical School/Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. His contributions in the areas of biochemistry and molecular metabolism have been recognized by numerous awards from the National Institutes of Health and the American Diabetes Association. At Stanford, the Long laboratory studies signaling pathways in mammalian energy metabolism. The long-term goal of this work is to discover new molecules and pathways that can be translated into therapeutic opportunities for obesity, metabolic disease, and other age-associated chronic diseases.

Dr. Long's lab uses a multidisciplinary approach to discover new bioactive metabolite pathways and to understand how these pathways control metabolic homeostasis and organismal physiology. In the long term, they hope to translate our discoveries into therapeutic opportunities for human health.
