Congratulations to Institute Scholar Laura Dassama for receiving the Protein Society Young Investigator Award in honor of her interdisciplinary work to combat multi-drug resistant bacterial infections: brnw.ch/21x27hG

Congratulations @Shuke_Xiao and our colleagues Leslie Leinwand @CUBoulder and @DrYongXu1 whose🐍🐍🐍 work is featured on the cover of this month’s @NatMetabolism “Satiating serpents”! @Stanford_ChEMH @StanfordPath

In a new review recently featured in The Economist and published in the 25th Anniversary issue of Cell Press on the Hallmarks of Cancer, Institute Scholar Paul Mischel discusses how aggressive cancer cells defy the traditional rules of genetic inheritance: brnw.ch/21x21fL

What better way to spend a Saturday morning than attending your student's Terman Award ceremony? Huge congrats to Heloise Hoffmann, recognized as a 2026 Terman Award recipient, top 3% of graduating engineers at @StanfordEng! #TermanAward #Bioengineering #FSHD

Directors of our Neurosciences Community Labs and the Nucleus recently hosted a Shared Resources Lunch and Learn. Attendees interested in using the facilities learned about the internal and external resources offered by Wu Tsai Neuro and Sarafan ChEM-H (@Stanford_ChEMH).

.@StanfordMed's 'Walk With Me' features Institute Scholar Paul Mischel, who studies how cancer cells grow and change over time. His lab has uncovered key drivers behind some of the most aggressive cancers and why they can become resistant to treatment: youtube.com/watch?v=SlPd-P…

Check out @StanfordMed's 'Walk With Me' featuring Carolyn Bertozzi, Baker Family Director of Sarafan ChEM-H, whose work explores how chemical biology can help understand disease and develop new approaches to treating #cancer and immune disorders: youtube.com/watch?v=FeyR-4…

Oops...we missed one!😳Congratulations to the *four* CBI grad students—Yunbeen Bae, Amanda Cai, Zixuan Liu, and Cathy Zhu—who were awarded the NSF GRFP! 🥳

A huge shoutout to our remarkable CBI graduate students @yunbeenbae, Amanda Cai, and Zixuan Liu for being awarded the NSF GRFP! 🎉 @StanfordEng @bioe_stanford @NSF

"The things you take for granted in one field can bring a new perspective to a slightly different problem." Institute Scholar David Cox explores RNA-protein interactions to understand disease mechanisms in blood cancers and develop targeted therapies: brnw.ch/21x1F2u

"Life’s most fundamental processes happen at incredibly small scales." Institute Scholar @RLPlikesscience studies nanoparticles to develop sensors, and eventually therapeutics, for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease: brnw.ch/21x1ALH

Congratulations to Institute Scholar Monther Abu Remaileh on receiving the ASBMB Walter A. Shaw Young Investigator Award in Lipid Research! His journey from East Jerusalem to Stanford highlights resilience and passion for science and mentorship: brnw.ch/21x1uCx

Monther Abu–Remaileh (@Stanford) is advancing lysosomal lipid #biochemistry — earning the 2026 ASBMB Walter A. Shaw Young Investigator Award. His lab focuses on how lysosomal dysfunction contributes to neurodegenerative disease. ⏯️Watch his #ASBMB26 talk: youtu.be/BugAr1mMyJ4?si…

This has been an amazing team effort led by @albertayhlee along with @MokhSpeed (now at @velocitybio), @BlacklowLab (Emily Egan), and Dan Herschlag. Very grateful to be part of @bioe_stanford, @Stanford_ChEMH, @czbiohub, & @schmidtsciences polymaths. (8/8)

New preprint alert - 5 years in the making! Using high-throughput microfluidic enzyme kinetics, we profiled 190 clinical variants of SHP2, a phosphatase linked to developmental disorders & cancer (1/8) biorxiv.org/content/10.648… @Stanford_ChEMH, @czbiohub, @bioe_stanford

Our Tweet longer thread by @ChenXinyi666 to our newest Nature Cell Biology paper out yesterday. Link: rdcu.be/fa90i @bioe_stanford @Stanford_ChEMH

Ever heard of 'cellular nibbling'? In our @NatureCellBio paper, we’ve turned trogocytosis into a delivery tool for programmable medicine. Congrats to @Xinyi and team! Link: rdcu.be/fa90i @StanfordBioE @StanfordChEMH @CZBiohub #GeneTherapy #SyntheticBiology

Young-Min Kim, in the lab of @LivnatJerby, in collaboration with Fabrizia Urbinati in the IMA has engineered immune cells to act as cellular ‘bloodhounds’, tracking the metabolic byproducts of cancer cells to better infiltrate and destroy solid tumors: brnw.ch/21x1fbx

Jon Long @longlabstanford & team studied the extreme metabolism of pythons—snakes that gorge themselves and then go months without eating—leading to discovery of an appetite-reducing molecule that could be a starting point for new weight-loss drugs: brnw.ch/21x1758

Walk with Me: Meet Paul Mischel, who studies how cancer cells grow, evolve, and resist treatment. His lab has uncovered key drivers of aggressive cancers. Discover what led him to this work — and his favorite comfort meal. @mischellab @StanfordCancer
