Dr. Heilshorn's interests include biomaterials in regenerative medicine, engineered proteins with novel assembly properties, microfluidics and photolithography of proteins, and synthesis of materials to influence stem cell differentiation.

Dr. Felsher's laboratory investigates how oncogenes initiate and sustain tumorigenesis.

A pioneer in the use of lasers to study chemical reactions at the molecular level, Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor Richard N. Zare pursues diverse theoretical and experimental interests in physical chemistry and nanoscale chemical analysis. The Zarelab has made a broad impact in analytic chemistry with development of laser-induced fluorescence to study reaction dynamics, and seminal contributions to understanding of molecular collision processes. The group continues to invent tools and measurement techniques to study phenomena from reaction in microdroplets to drug delivery.

Dr. Scott L. Delp is the James H. Clark Professor of Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University. He is the Founding Chairman of the Department of Bioengineering at Stanford, and Director of the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance at Stanford, a university-wide research initiative focused on discovering biological principles to optimize human performance and catalyze innovations in human health for all.

The Einav lab's goal is to better understand the roles of virus-host interactions in the viral lifecycle and pathogenesis and identify host functions required by multiple unrelated viruses.

The long term goal of the Frydman lab's research is to understand how proteins fold in living cells.

Research in the Cyert lab has three major goals: elaborate calcineurin signaling networks; elucidate calcineurin function; and define how calcineurin recognizes and dephosphorylates substrates.

Dr. Axel Brunger's laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms of neurotransmitter release, and how these mechanisms relate to physiological function.

To discover cell and molecular underpinnings of circuit tuning, the Shatz lab has conducted functional screens for genes regulated by neural activity.
