About Stanford ChEM-H
Chemistry, Engineering & Medicine for Human Health
Stanford ChEM-H brings together chemists, engineers, biologists, and clinicians to understand life at a chemical level and apply that knowledge to improving human health.
ChEM-H builds on Stanford’s extraordinary talent in the Schools of Humanities & Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, as well as its proximity to the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, to explore this new frontier at the interface of chemistry and human biology.

Researchers creat compund that combats drug-resistant malaria parasites
ChEM-H Faculty Fellow Matthew Bogyo has designed a compound that targets the malaria parasite in human cells without harming human tissue.
Blood Test Could Transform Tuberculosis Diagnosis
Purvesh Khatri, ChEM-H Faculty Fellow, has developed a simple blood test that can accurately diagnose active tuberculosis, making it easier and cheaper to control diseaes.
Work of ChEM-H Faculty Fellow Stanley Qi Profiled in "The Atlantic"
Stanley Qi is gaining attention for his work to modify the popular gene-editing enzyme CRISPR. The modified enzyme is a powerful tool to study and modulate gene function with novel therapeutic potential.
ChEM-H Faculty Fellow Maps Mechanical Properties of Living Cells
Researchers have developed a new way to use atomic force microscopy to rapidly measure the mechanical properties of cells at the nanometer scale, an advance that could pave the way for better understanding immune disorders and cancer.
$28 million grant launches Center of Excellence for Translation Research
Jeffrey Glenn will lead a new center to develop new anti-viral therapies that target the host rather than the infection. The center will collaborate with ChEM-H as well as other Stanford institutes.
