Timothy Cornell, Kevin Shea, Joanna Wysocka and Tony Wyss-Coray have been appointed to endowed professorships.
Feb 4 2019 | Stanford Engineering
Two instructors revamped a core course in Chemical Engineering to lighten up on lectures and instead coach students on how to design and troubleshoot their own experiments.
Jan 31 2019 | Stanford Medicine
The discovery, by Stanford researchers, of neurons that drive mice’s innate ability to identify the sex of other mice highlights the importance of biological influences on sex-specific behaviors.
Jan 30 2019 | Stanford Medicine
Stanford ChEM-H Faculty Fellow Justin Annes discusses the importance of collaborative, interdisciplinary research and how ChEM-H has made his research program in diabetes and hereditary endocrine disorders possible in the Stanford Department of Medicine 2019 Annual Report.
Jan 29 2019 | Stanford Medicine
Stanford researchers have identified 20 genes that can predict an individual’s likelihood of developing a severe form of dengue fever with about 80 percent accuracy.
Jan 29 2019 | SCOPE by Stanford Medicine
In a study co-led by Stanford ChEM-H Faculty Fellow Purvesh Khatri, researchers identified 20 genes that help predict the severity of dengue fever before the onset of telltale symptoms.
Jan 28 2019 | Stanford Medicine
Studying human oligodendrocytes, which provide insulation for nerve cells, has been challenging. But a new way of generating stem-cell-derived, three-dimensional brain-cell cultures is paying off.
Jan 24 2019 | Stanford News
Stanford ChEM-H Faculty Fellow Sharon Long was awarded the 2019 Selman A. Waksman Award in Microbiology from the National Academy of Sciences for her pioneering work in symbiosis.
Jan 23 2019 | SCOPE by Stanford Medicine
A team that includes Stanford ChEM-H Faculty Fellow Howard Chang has discovered a link between long non-coding RNAs and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism.
Jan 22 2019 | SCOPE by Stanford Medicine
Stanford ChEM-H Faculty Fellow Daria Mochly-Rosen and colleagues developed a small molecule that could help prevent heart attack survivors from developing heart failure.
Jan 22 2019 | SCOPE by Stanford Medicine
A multi-institution team that involved several Stanford authors, including Stanford ChEM-H Faculty Fellow Stephen Quake, developed a blood test that could detect signs of deadly lung transplant rejection before the patient starts showing symptoms.
Jan 16 2019 | SCOPE by Stanford Medicine
Stanford ChEM-H Faculty Fellow Christopher Gardner shows in a recent paper that consuming a higher than recommended percentage of saturated fat might not be so bad if you maintain a diet that is low in carbohydrates and refined sugars.
Jan 14 2019 | SCOPE by Stanford Medicine
A team led by Stanford ChEM-H Institute Scholar Stanley Qi have identified a potent tool for protecting cells from CRISPR-mediated gene editing.
Jan 8 2019 | Stanford News
Transforming super-sensitive touch sensors, Stanford engineers and medical researchers build a way to wirelessly monitor blood flow after surgery.
Dec 20 2018 | Stanford ChEM-H
Students in the Stanford ChEM-H Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Program have been awarded a grant to pursue their idea for a new biotechnology company.
Dec 14 2018 | Stanford News
Scientists at Stanford have solved a 50-year-old mystery that could open up new areas of research into muscle disorders. The study revealed a human enzyme that modifies muscle proteins to help them grow and remain strong.
Dec 11 2018 | SCOPE by Stanford Medicine
ChEM-H faculty fellow Justin Annes and CBI trainee Timothy Horton knew they could get the pancreas produce more insulin by helping beta cells replicate, but selectively targeting beta cells over other cell types proved difficult. In this study, they find they solved the puzzle using these cells'...
