Introducing Emmy Li, a 2026 Brain Resilience Postdoctoral Scholar @stanfordbrain. In the @stanleyqilab, she studies how the immune system interacts with the aging brain, and how these interactions may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Faculty fellow Beth Sattely sees plants as the world's ultimate "chemical factories". Her lab cracked the code to potentially make cancer drug Taxol cheaper and is tackling global challenges such as food allergies, malnutrition, sustainable farming & more news.stanford.edu/stories/2026/0…

ONO Pharma Foundation and Stanford ChEM-H held a successful symposium, supporting #ChemicalBiology research and accelerating innovation. With 168 participants, amazing speakers, engaging presentations, lively poster sessions, and empowering discussions for students—thanks all!

Heartfelt thanks and deep respect to the outstanding @Stanford_ChEMH team for the devoted efforts in planning and organizing this symposium, with dedication and collaboration that made it far exceed all expectations!

In From Our Neurons to Yours, Institute Scholar Monther Abu-Remaileh discusses his work on cellular recycling centers called lysosomes to understand their role in forming the tangles of junk proteins that accumulate in neurodegenerative diseases: brnw.ch/21x3Gdn

A big thank you to our incredible speakers and attendees, including faculty, students, postdocs & colleagues from industry for helping make the @OnoInitiative Annual Symposium a success! We look forward to the insights and collaborations that will emerge from these discussions!

Thrilled to welcome renowned chemical biologist Laura Kiessling @ChemicalBiology @ChemistryMIT MIT for a keynote presentation on ‘Tools for Exploring Glycan Recognition in Health and Disease’! @OnoInitiative

Today’s impressive lineup of speakers include former awardees of The Ono Initiative Jonathan Long @longlabstanford, Yamuna Krishnan @UChiChemistry, Xiaoyu Zhang @NorthwesternU, @fordycelab, @basktastic, @StacyMalaker, and @angadmehta as well as keynote speaker @ChemicalBiology!

We are excited to co-host the Ono Pharma Foundation Annual Symposium, spotlighting groundbreaking breakthroughs in chemical biology. We're kicking off the day with opening remarks from Shingo Hotta, President of @OnoInitiative!

Congratulations to our director, Carolyn Bertozzi, recipient of the 2026 EDGE in Tech Athena Award @citrisnews for Lifetime Achievement, honoring her groundbreaking work in bioorthogonal chemistry and her commitment to mentorship and scientific leadership citris-uc.org/citris-announc…

Are the protein buildups seen in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s a cause of disease—or a clue to something deeper? Stanford researcher Monther Abu-Remaileh discusses the lysosome, a cellular recycling system, and what it may reveal about neurodegeneration. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/neurodege…

Honored to be a part of this collaborative project @Stanford_ChEMH

Simcere Pharmaceutical is partnering w/@StanfordMed to develop therapies for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a progressive lung disease that leads to respiratory failure. This collaboration is led by Chaitan Khosla & Bianxiao Cui from the Stanford IMA prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

@michelleqtang @isaacapaddy @isagolda @JKaraguesian @MikaelaRibi @kevansf @UCSF @UCBerkeley And that's a wrap! Huge thanks to the CBI program leadership including faculty co-directors Carolyn Bertozzi & Christine Jacobs Wagner @JacobsWagnerLab and program team Beth Ponder, @LynetteHaberman & Bria Castellano @queerentist, as well as...

We’re excited to kick off the Chemistry/Biology Interface (CBI) retreat today! This year is extra special as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of our annual retreat. We’re looking forward to a fantastic day of trainee talks, along with a keynote from @kevansf @UCSF!

Congratulations to our Institute Scholar Rebecca Pinals, Eric Sun & Yuecheng Zhou on being one of the teams to win awards for Scialog: Neurobiology & Changing Ecosystems that will enhance understanding of neural system adaptations in changing environments: brnw.ch/21x3bue

What makes some brains resilient to the stresses of aging, and how can we help more people develop that resilience? Our Spring Symposium showcased research ranging from rejuvenating the brain’s immune system to predicting cognitive health. Learn more: brainresilience.stanford.edu/news/slowing-a…
