Who is ChEM-H?
“ChEM-H is a hub of innovation that brings the power of diversity to improve human health: diversity of disciplines - life, physical and clinical sciences - and most importantly, diversity of people.”
Carolyn Bertozzi
Baker Family Director of Sarafan ChEM-H
The heart of Sarafan ChEM-H is its research community—the faculty, staff, and trainees who solve the biggest problems in human health. Learn more about them and explore our programs below.
Institute Scholars
Our diverse faculty includes our Institute Scholars, hired by the Institute in conjunction with Stanford schools and departments.
Faculty Fellows
Our diverse fellows help identify new initiatives, support existing initiatives, set strategic direction, and build bridges to their colleagues across schools, disciplines and programs.
Postdoctoral Scholars
We are building bridges across the postdoctoral scholar community in chemistry, engineering, and medicine to encourage the execution of innovative research aimed at addressing challenges in human health from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
