Dr. Kacper Rogala is Assistant Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine with a joint appointment between the Department of Structural Biology and the Department of Chemical & Systems Biology. He is also a Leader in the Stanford Cancer Institute.
Dr. Melody Smith is a board-certified, fellowship-trained medical oncologist and hematologist. She is an assistant professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Blood & Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.
Dr. Christopher Barnes's lab is at the intersection of medicine, basic science and engineering. Viruses are inextricably linked to the host cells that they infect. Thus, investigating viral-host interactions is essential to understand the mechanisms of viral entry, replication, pathogenesis, and the host’s ability to respond to viral pathogens. The Barnes lab excels in leveraging interdisciplinary approaches to address fundamental principles of viral-host interactions for therapeutic benefit.
Dr. Hawa Racine Thiam is an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and Sarafan ChEM-H Institute Scholar at Stanford. Dr. Thiam’s long-term goal is to combine what we learn studying the cellular biophysics of immune cells, together with engineering principles to manipulate, predict and re-design innate immune cells and improve human health.
Dr. Matthias Garten is an assistant professor in the department of Immunology and Microbiology and the department of Bioengineering. He is a membrane biophysicist who is driven by the question of how the malaria parasite interfaces with its host-red blood cell, how we can use the unique mechanisms of the parasite to treat malaria and to re-engineer cells for biomedical applications.
Dr. Emma Lundberg's research is focused on spatial proteomics and cell biology. At the interface between bioimaging and proteomics are fundamental aspects of human cell biology systematically assessed at a single cell level using an antibody-based approach. The aim is to understand how human proteins are distributed in time and space, how variations and deviations in localization can contribute to cell type specificity as well as disease.
Dr. Rogelio Hernandez-Lopez is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Bioengineering and of Genetics, a member of Stanford Bio-X, and a Chan-Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator. Rogelio was a recipient of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award at the Scientific Interface in 2021. His laboratory works at the interface of mechanistic, synthetic and systems biology to understand and engineer biomedically relevant cellular behaviors.
