Sarafan ChEM-H

π may be irrational, but celebrating it is perfectly reasonable. In celebration of Pi Day, the Wu Tsai Neuro and @Stanford_ChEMH communities hosted a joint social event that brought together Stanford researchers across neuroscience, chemistry, and health sciences.

Heloise Hoffmann & Alice Finkelstein , two excellent BioE undergraduate researchers in our lab, in collaboration CHEM-H's Nucleus labs have been leading FSHD research. Read about their story here: #fshd #crispr #igem @Stanford_ChEMH @bioe_stanford (news.stanford.edu/stories/2026/0…)

Aha moments. Personal stories. A few fun surprises. In Walk With Me, Stanford Medicine researchers take us behind the scenes — sharing their work, their journeys and the spaces where it all happens. stanmed.stanford.edu

The new issue of Stanford Medicine magazine is live. Go behind the scenes as we traverse the research path from "aha" moments to medical innovations -- and meet the people driving discovery. Explore the stories: stanmed.stanford.edu/issue/2026issu…

“Chemistry is an amazing tool to answer life’s biggest questions on a molecular scale.” Meet CBI student Shoshana Williams, PhD ’25, and read about her research on novel polymer-based antibiotics: brnw.ch/21x0sdk

@heloisehoff work on FSHD and journey through the Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Program (UEP) is featured in a new story from @Stanford_ChEMH highlighting her personal mission and progress! @bioe_stanford chemh.stanford.edu/news/catching-…

This work wouldn’t be possible without support of my thoughtful co-advisors @fordycelab and @Dunn_Lab , their creative labs, generous funders @StanfordBioX @NSF @NIH @Stanford_ChEMH @czbiohub , and my amazing co-authors! 13/13

First preprint of the @fordycelab and @Dunn_Lab collaboration! We used high-throughput microfluidics for sequence-strength mapping at the single-molecule level. Our new tech allowed us to discover a fundamental nonequilibrium property of multivalent systems. 1/13

As always, I feel very lucky to work with amazing students and collaborators and to have a fantastic interdisciplinary home at @Stanford_ChEMH, @StanfordBioX, @bioe_stanford, & @czbiohub! (3/3)

Have you ever wanted to do single-molecule biophysics in high-throughput? @DejongMatt (amazing joint grad student with @Dunn_Lab) invented a way & measured >100,000 single molecules across 241 different sequences. (1/3) biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

The Stanley Qi Lab is honored to receive the Stein Innovation Award from Research to Prevent Blindness (@RPB_org)! With this support, we are pioneering a new paradigm in genetic engineering: Spatial Medicine. @bioe_Stanford @Stanford_ChEMH @StanfordMed #Bioengineering #CRISPR

Ali Ghoochani, Julia Heiby & collaborators, with support from the Nucleus & the Knight Initiative, have built an atlas of proteins associated with lysosomes in different brain cell types that researchers hope will shed light on neurodegenerative disease: brnw.ch/21x07TS

Congratulations to our Institute Scholar @StevenMBanik on being named a 2026 Sloan Research Fellow! @SloanFoundation news.stanford.edu/stories/2026/0…

Ian Guldner (@wysscoray lab), Carolyn Bertozzi, Monther Abu-Remaileh & team are exploring the relationship between synapse loss & defective protein recycling in the aging brain, offering new insights into brain health and disease risk: brnw.ch/21x045t @BrainResilience

Proteins that start inside neurons accumulate faster with age and increasingly appear in microglia, the immune cells that prune damaged synapses, according to new research supported by the Knight Initiative. Led by Ian Guldner in the @wysscoray Lab. brainresilience.stanford.edu/news/aging-bra…

Meet CBI training program PhD student Carlos Santiago, an engineer working in a bone marrow transplant research lab, where he is applying protein engineering techniques to find new treatments for cancer: brnw.ch/21wZJhF

#WorldCancerDay2026 Carolyn Bertozzi and Jessica Stark, in collaboration with the Innovative Medicines Accelerator at Sarafan ChEM-H, have developed a new strategy for treating cancer that allows the immune system to attack cancer cells more effectively: brnw.ch/21wZF2g

@noScandineHere @SynBioGaoLab We are also excited to tap into the decades of exciting chemistry for modifying and enhancing small RNA activity. @noScandineHere is unique as one of the few people who can do the complex chemistry and build the necessary bioinformatics tools! @StanfordUChem @Stanford_ChEMH
