A Stanford Bio-X seed grant helped launch a new interdisciplinary research technique: Drs. Polly Fordyce, Assistant Professor of Genetics & Bioengineering and Co-Director of the Stanford Microfluidics Foundry, and Martha Cyert, the Dr. Nancy Chang Professor, share how!
Stanford Bio-X Seed Grant: Polly Fordyce and Martha Cyert
Polly Fordyce - Associate Professor of Bioengineering and of Genetics
Bio-X Affiliated Faculty, Seed Grant Committee Member
The Fordyce Lab is focused on developing new instrumentation and assays for making quantitative, systems-scale biophysical measurements of molecular interactions.
Martha Cyert - Professor of Biology
Seed Grant Committee, Scientific Leadership Council Member
Research in the Cyert lab has three major goals: elaborate calcineurin signaling networks; elucidate calcineurin function; and define how calcineurin recognizes and dephosphorylates substrates.
